What is Guiding Children Successfully?

Guiding Children Successfully (GCS) is a new series for parents and child care providers produced by the Arkansas Educational Telecommunications Network (AETN), in partnership with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service (UACES) and funded by, the Arkansas Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education (DCCECE). Dr. Wally Goddard, Family Life Specialist, hosts the 12-part series. In the series Dr. Goddard addresses topics ranging from motivating children to teaching children responsibility.

We have developed a self-study program based around the series that can be used by child care providers, parents, and educators to receive up to 12 hours of verified training through the Arkansas Early Childhood Professional Development System (AECPDS). The self-study materials will include learning checks and an evaluation form to help validate engaged effort by each participant. All materials and resources, including a set of videos will be provided to each county office.
