Welcome home!

We are the hub for Wisconsin's statewide Birth to 3 Program's professional development system, designed to be both informative and engaging. Join our community in supporting young children and families.

Our Focus

The Wisconsin Birth to 3 Program's professional development system strives to provide informative and engaging opportunities that support evidence-based practices implemented by a highly trained and qualified workforce which will lead to improved outcomes for children and their families.

Our Resource Library

Selected and developed with you in mind

It is important that the professional development materials that we create and select to include on this website are responsive to the needs of our Wisconsin Birth to 3 Program workforce. The resources you will find in this library are the most essential, useful and evidence based that we can find.

Nationally Developed Materials

Organizations around the country (like ECTA and DEC) have great resources for those working in the early intervention field. Our resource library includes links to the nationally developed materials that most closely align with the needs that our Wisconsin Birth to 3 Program workforce has identified.

Locally Developed Materials

The “homegrown” materials that you will find within the resource library have been developed in response to the questions and requests for support that our workforce has submitted. When new resources are developed, our research team thoroughly reviews them to be certain that the information shared is timely, accurate and well supported.

UPCOMING EVENTS

The RESource Professional Development Team is dedicated to providing experiences and events that will have a positive impact on your work with children and families in the Wisconsin Birth to 3 Program. These opportunities will focus on both learning and building connections with your statewide early intervention colleagues. We hope that you find events that work for you, we always love to see you!

COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE

Support Wisconsin’s Birth to 3 Program children and families by participating in our Communities of Practice.

“Families may know their child is supposed to crawl and walk and talk, but they may not know what needs to take place to get there. It is our job as home visitors to educate families and provide them with resources so they can be confident and competent in helping their child learn and develop.”

“Trust in relationships provides a basis for everything else. It is difficult for parents who are already worried about their little one to develop multiple trusting relationships with multiple providers.”

“We asked 'How does it feel to be part of the Birth to 3 Program in WI'? And every CoP described the work as 'rewarding'.”

“Parent and child are front and center. It is their relationship, and their interactions. We as practitioners, should be on the sideline, and be there as a support. We need to go in and explain right away to parents that they are front and center; that their priorities, their daily routines, are what we are there to support.”

“I enjoyed learning more about the "why" behind utilizing a family-centered approach, including the research showing the positive role of parent engagement on a child's development.”
