AECEA Believes that PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MATTERS
Did You Know...The Alberta Child Care Licensing Act and Regulations (Licensing) expired on January 2021?
AECEA Recommends:
- Requiring ongoing professional learning for all early childhood educators in all sectors of the regulated system. Ongoing professional learning should be a requirement for credential maintenance.
- Requiring early childhood educators to develop annual professional learning plans that show what education, training, skills development or pedagogical development activities the individuals will undertake each year to improve their qualifications and maintain their certification status.
These changes will keep early childhood educators accountable and allow them to stay up to date with current developmentally appropriate information and practices.
Ask: How will the new act and regulations require and support continued professional learning for educators?
