Community Learning/Professional Development

Domain

The goal of EQuIPD's Professional Development Opportunities is to provide quality, expert-level professional development for Guilford County Early Care and Education Professionals based on current research, trends, and widely held beliefs regarding best practices for educating young children. Professional Development sessions are interactive and balance information shared through lecture with small and large group discussions and activities based on the best methods for adult learning. There is no fee for EQuIPD professional development opportunities to allow any ECE professional to attend without cost as a barrier. To enhance accessibility of professional development opportunities, sessions are held in various locations across the county including venues such as libraries, commnunity colleges an churches located in convenient areas and typically near public transportation.

Success Story!

"It was great seeing you today! I'm really excited and enthusiastic to begin this journey. I had no idea there was such an awesome, strong support system in place for preschool teachers, and I feel grateful to have found a group of educators with such similar values to my own. I'm so looking forward to meeting with you on December 2nd to hear your feedback and your advice! None o your words will fall on deaf ears... I'm so new to the profession I just feel like a sponge ready to absorb all of the wealth of knowledge coming in from all directions. I imagine more established teachers might have trouble implementing new ideas because they have to change mindsets and break out of established routines and ideas. But I don't have any of that. I'm a big lump of blank clay, and I feel so lucky to have so many skillful hands tomold me into the best teacher I can become. Have a wonderful holdiay, and I will see you soon!
