• Time to read, reflect, and get going on the assignments at your own pace to feel well-prepared for the phone classes.
• Begin to know your group members, networking through e-mail and phone calls, enabling the sharing of resources and stories.
• Get a jump-start on practicing the coaching conversation and learning specific strategies that can assist in your work with parents immediately.
• Be well prepared for the course workshops.
