Important Update
The College is excited to announce that the Expectations for Practice Module has been revised to incorporate information relevant to new members, such as reflecting on beliefs and biases, supporting positive interactions with children and building and maintaining professional relationships and boundaries. This revision was informed by feedback from members and employers, and data related to practice trends.
