WELCOME, Coaches-To-Be!
​
You want to reach into lives and brains and make a real difference. Here's your gateway.
Becoming a SPEECHified Coach
The vision of the SPEECHified™ Coach Training program is to create a supportive community of professionals who are more than just specialized in their field- They are also effective and encouraging coaches.
​
A SPEECHified Coach builds adult capacity through one-on-one coaching in order to improve developmental outcomes for children. Speech and language development is an essential gateway to help early childhood educators (and the families they work with!) hone strategies that develop stronger brain architecture in children, thereby increasing resilience in families and improving our communities.
​
SPEECHified Coach Training for ECEs accomplishes these objectives through:
​
-
Providing coaches a broader view of the neuroscience behind the SPEECHified program and connecting SPEECHified coaches into an important network of Brain Story resources.
-
Continued development of the coach's SPEECHified skills
-
Skill-building exercises to improve the SPEECHified Coach's ability to provide feedback to other ECEs regarding their use of SPEECHified skills
-
Training on the use of the SPEECHified framework and materials to support the coaching process.
Completion of SPEECHified Coach Training will provide you with:
​
-
Specialized skills that enhance your service delivery

Certification as a SPEECHified Coach with an accompanying certificate
-
SPEECHified branding and verbiage for your agency's website or social media to demonstrate their enhanced services
