The College's Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) program complements and formalizes the ongoing professional learning many RECEs do every day. Engaging in ongoing professional learning is important to early childhood educators.
The CPL program is a framework and formal process to help RECEs increase their knowledge and skills and ensure quality professional practice throughout their careers. It also communicates to employers, families and the public that RECEs are members of a distinct profession that values ongoing professional learning.
Continuous Professional Learning for RECEs involves two steps:
After completing the Expectations for Practice module, all members are required to begin
Step 2: CPL Portfolio Cycle in their next membership year.
The CPL Portfolio Cycle requirements include:
**CPL Deferral due to COVID-19: Effective April 2020 to August 2021, all members will have the option to defer compliance with their CPL program requirements for one membership year due to COVID-19. The option to defer compliance will be available to members on their next annual renewal. Members may only select this deferral option once. To help you understand the deferral option based on your renewal month, please review the CPL Deferral Chart.**
