an age-specific newsletter, as well as the related cognitive competency
post-test and answer key. Education and competency tracking records
are also provided with each subscription
WEBSITE: We are
very excited about our website: www.growingupwithus.com, being currently
updated, making it user-friendly, as well as a central location for our
subscribers to directly download our age-specific materials. Staff will
be able to go to our website and read the newsletter, while administrators
will be able to download the newsletter, post-test and answer key.
If
preferred, newsletters and post-tests can also be printed and distributed
to staff. After 11 years of experience, we have learned providing a direct
link on our website will help allay the inherent problems with e-mail,
such as spam-blockers, as well as “snail� mail, which often causes a
delay in receipt of materials in a timely manner.
ON-LINE TESTING CENTER: We
have a free Testing Centerâ„¢which allows staff to take post-tests on-line.
Or, tests can be taken on paper and manually graded. And, if preferred,
also entered into the Testing Center. Once a test is successfully
passed (90%), a computer-generated Certificate of Completion, individualized
with the staff member’s name, test name and date taken, will be printed. There
is also a report section for administrators to check staff’s progress and
to check cumulative contact hours.
CONTACT HOURS: Growing
Up With Us, Inc. is an Approved Provider of contact hours through the
American Nurses Credentialing Center. At NO charge, one (1) contact
hour is awarded for successful completion of each post-test. For Florida
staff, Growing Up With Us, Inc. is affiliated with CE broker.
 I
can't believe it's only $200 per year for one subscription. That's less
than $17 a month. I make more than that in an hour and it would take
me weeks to do this!
