ITERS-3 in Action: Creating High-Quality Learning Environments for Infants and Toddlers

Infant Toddler Workshop

The Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition (ITERS-3) is more than an assessment tool—it's a roadmap for creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environments for children from birth to 36 months. This interactive three-hour training helps early childhood professionals understand how ITERS-3 measures quality and how everyday interactions, routines, materials, and environments influence children's development and learning. Participants will explore each ITERS-3 subscale through hands-on activities, photos, case studies, and collaborative discussions while identifying practical strategies that can be immediately implemented in their classrooms. Whether preparing for an assessment or simply striving to improve quality, educators will leave with an action plan for enhancing infant and toddler care.
