We are now accepting applications for the Short Course on the ITERS-3 to be held November 18-20, 2019. The Short Course provides training in use of the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale - Third Edition (ITERS-3). Authors of this widely used instrument serve as faculty for the training. Participants will be taught to use the scale and given guided practice conducting assessments in child care settings. Comprehensive debriefing will follow each practice assessment, led by experienced group leaders, with the authors on hand to answer questions. There is also an option to stay November 21st and 22nd to become reliable in the ITERS-3 scale.

Application procedure

Applications must be accompanied by a check or approved purchase order. We cannot guarantee spots without a purchase order or check for the training. Purchase orders must be replaced with checks by October 18th, 2019. Interest typically exceeds our capacity - we are often completely booked two weeks after opening registration - so apply early for the best chance of enrollment. Applicants will be notified within a few days that their application was received. At least one month prior to the training dates participants will receive an email with additional training information to confirm enrollment in the course (travel arrangements should not be made until that email has been received). Submitting an application is not an automatic acceptance.

Fee

A fee of $1900 covers the cost of the training, all materials, and breakfast and lunch for the first day of training. The fee does not include breakfast, lunch and dinners for Tuesday and Wednesday or overnight accommodations. Refunds will be given, minus a $50 processing charge, if cancellation is made by October 18th. After October 18th, no refunds will be given. If you are staying for the extra two days of reliability, it will be an additional $750 per day.

Accommodations and travel

The Raleigh-Durham Airport is 18 miles from Chapel Hill. Upon acceptance, applicants will be sent information about hotel, rental cars, taxis, airport limousines and shuttle service. The training will be held at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott Durham/Chapel Hill. Rooms will be held at the hotel at a special rate of $108/night.

Schedule and course credit

The Monday session will run approximately from 9 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the following two days from 7:30a.m. to 4p.m.  Letters of completion will be given only for participation in the entire session, so please make travel plans accordingly.
