The ECEPDO@PASSHE will guide the effort to build an efficient and effective framework for early childhood educators’ career development. This is a highly connective process. They will build on lessons learned from our early childhood outreach, our prior grant work and the collaborative apprenticeships with working professionals. This Early Care and Education Professional Development Organization at PASSHE (ECEPDO@PASSHE) is informed by other grant work which helped to meet the needs of the state’s current early childhood education workforce and to develop a systematic pathway of credentialing towards certification in the field of early childhood.
