Six professional development opportunities for early childhood
Research six professional development opportunities for early childhood educators for your area of interest, and discuss these and other opportunities with your classroom teacher. Of those six professional development opportunities, three are to be for the Birth to Age 5/Pre-K environment and three are to be for the Kindergarten to Age 8/Grade 3 setting.
In 250-500 words, create a table or chart for the six professional development opportunities. Include the following:
1. Description of professional development opportunity – name, sponsor, location, and topic. I live close to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida but not limited to these areas.
2. Application to the early childhood setting, teaching, and/or learning.
3. Relationship to your area of interest.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
Please use at least 3 References
Note: Something to note for this assignment is that you want to select actual professional development opportunities. For example, don’t just list NYAEC Conference as you professional development opportunity, because that is too broad. You need to select the actual workshop you would attend at the conference and write about that.
