Reflective Supervision Self-Study Modules

Our 10 standalone self-study modules explain, explore, and extend learning and skills related to various components and facets of reflective supervision and the RIOS™.  

Designed to deliver current, evidence-based content in practical, small doses, these modules provide focused learning and companion resources that complement and expand upon our RIOS™ 1 and RIOS™ 2 online courses, as well as meet the professional development needs of reflective practitioners in any early childhood setting. For more on the benefits of reflective supervision, download our free e-book.

Each module has a recommended audience, but all modules are open to anyone who would like to participate. Participants who successfully complete a module receive a Certificate of Completion for three clock hours. For more information, take a look at our series of Q & A blog posts with module authors.

Pricing is available for individuals and groups. Individual registration cost and information can be found on each module landing page. For group registration information, please visit our group registration page. If your organization wishes to pay by check, please email ceedregister@umn.edu.
