For a highly scalable solution for SIPPS training, we offer a two-tier model that allows educators who complete the Certified Educator course to continue on to learn how to lead SIPPS training as a Certified Trainer.

What Educators Say About SIPPS Certification Courses
The videos, quizzes, and practice lessons really helped me prepare to teach SIPPS. I learned the lesson format and dialogue used to teach. I could watch expert teachers teach the lessons and then I was able to video myself and compare. This was very beneficial to me since I learn best by doing. Actually teaching the lessons was the most effective way to feel prepared to teach in my classroom to my students.
