This is more of a place where ECE's can state their concerns
No one in this petition is against professional development. The CPL is adding extra stress and paperwork when our jobs already have such high burn out rates. We need more support from the College, not more expectations and paper work. With long hours to cover ratios and low wages, it seems really unfair that we pay into something that demands more and more from us to keep our membership and all we get is the promise that they have the power to audit and take away our membership.
No on is against professional development. There aren’t enough hours left in the day and we are forced to give up on something (family time, personal time) which leads to faster burnout rates and low morale.Also what are we to do when we are on mat leave? Although the College is in place to give us more recognition, it also isn’t there to support us in our profession but add hurdles. Some centre's don't have enough supply staff to support time off
The Delays in the membership renewal has become very lengthy and with members being very concerned about what would happen if our membership is not renewed on time. And for new grads who have to wait to work because they are waiting for their membership.
And the membership fee is going up. How come? Is it to help audit members to see the CPL? This is going to discourage people from staying in the field.
More people are signing the petition.
Here are a few concerns we have for the CPL. In this petition there are much more to take into consideration.

I love and thoroughly enjoy doing professional development. The way it is tracked and the expectations of CPL need to be modified. I understand the reason for it and the benefits of it but it can be reinvented with feedback from ECE's on what works better.
Each DECE is already required by the employers to keep up the professional development. Our jobs are exhausting enough. The last thing we need is the anxiety of being audited. Please, make cpl way less time consuming. Make it helpful not stressful.
I already do an annual learning plan with goal attached for the school board I work for. I attend multiple professional learning work shops both with my employer as well as personally. I do not need to double up on my already intense workload.
I like the weekly Standardsmatter. I will watch the Webinar and read the articles, but I don’t have enough classroom data to finish the writing since I am a supply ECE. I sometimes supply as an EA in order to get enough hours for EI in the summer.
Too much paper work! Give ECE’s Professional Development days where presenters come to daycares and provide new material/refresher workshops. That’s how you can help us Not by overloading us with more work with the little time we have to ourselves!
Stop this Nonsense CPL, what the College did for us during the Covid 19 pandemic? Absolubly NOTHING! Many of us went into the Covid !9 sickness and also loss of family member and the College don't even have any heart for us. They just want to get the money for the year renewal. I wonder where is that money goes too! does it goes to their staff pay salary raise?? This CPL is adding more stress to our life and family. We pay them to make more work for us! We work 8-9 hours a day during this pandemic, we get home continued with our house chores, them go to sleep and the next day continue our work journey and so on, on the weekend continue with our families and no time at all to do no CPL work! Please STOP!
Membership fee is unacceptably high and the college of ECE has never done anything on behalf of our RECE’s benefits. The CPL program is totally worthless as the College has never arranged any official training programs while throwing the ball at us and putting the blame on us for not following it.

I am in courses currently and on mat leave as a single parent but have recently returned to work I’m busy doing the homework in my course - your requirements greatly affect me and we pay more then teachers but they at least get legal aid when needed
