What Our Scholars Say


“My feelings have gotten stronger, and I learned more knowledge about how the parents might feel about expulsion. My goal is to seek more information regarding behavioral issues and to work harder with children with behavioral needs.”

– Completed, ”Parent Advocacy for Children facing Expulsion.”

“We need to see our students for who they are and give them the support they need.”

~From, “Examining Teacher Culture and Bias and Their Impact in Classroom Management“

“This information has helped me understand what FAS is and how it effects the child and the family in many ways. I hope to be a comfort for someone who has a child with a disability and a better teacher to a child with special needs. ”

– COMPLETED “Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders II”

“Thank You so Much! 😊   Ms. Karen, you have been a WONDERFUL instructor and I’m so glad that I was recommended to do my classes with Appalachian Early Childhood Network. I appreciate your positive feedback and helping me when I needed your assistance! 😊”

-Completed CDA Training Hours

“I feel that I am a productive early childhood educator that has positive interactions with the children.”

~Completed “Instant teacher, just add coffee”
