Three Integral Components of the APH Hive

Courses: The APH Hive presents a rich catalog of Courses, covering categories like Early Childhood, Expanded Core Curriculum and more. Our courses provide free eLearning opportunities for educators and families you can access at any time to earn ACVREP credits from the comfort of your own home or office. With a commitment to accessibility and flexibility, the interactive nature of the courses, including video content, assessments, follow-up activities, and discussion boards, ensures a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.

Professional Communities: Our Professional Communities host a repository of vetted and curated resources that address the dynamic nature of education and the importance of staying current with best practices and innovations. The platform offers support in the form of curated webinars, training videos, documents, and more. The integration of these elements in Professional Communities reflects a commitment to ongoing professional development that not only facilitates individual growth but also strengthens the collective expertise of professionals, ultimately benefiting the individuals they serve.

Discussion Boards: Offering 24/7 accessibility, the Discussion Board forum within the APH Hive hosts a space for users to communicate and engage with peers, fostering a sense of community and support. This interactive element allows users to share insights, seek advice, and collaborate with one another in a meaningful way.
