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.

We get nothing for the money we pay! We earn nothing and have to waste time engaging in useless CPL!

Is very sad that we have so much experience and pay is very low, plus we have to pay every year 160 to renew. We work very hard and we are not being recognized with the work we put out there.

This is unreasonable and unnecessary work. I work 5 hours a day and then have to do this on top of everything else. Plus, with covid and shutdowns, since last February, I've worked a total of 3 months. This CPL and College is all extortion money!!! It needs to stop!!!

I completely agree with staying up to date on current practices and always expanding your general knowledge of early childhood education, which I absolutely do. As an RECE, Supervisor and mother, I find it very frustrating to have to fill our so much paperwork to “prove” that I am completing professional development. With each role I hold, there are already a plethora of duties that need to be completed each day and to add to that, causes extra stress and burnout in an already demanding field.

I hope College of ECE will advocate for ECEs who work very hard and have very low pay.

I am a certified and responsible Early Childhood Educator who knows how to do her job and I dont think that I need someone to come and keep an check on how I keep myself updated professionally. It almost makes you feel like an elementary school student but we are all adults here. I have completed my CPL and I'm ready to present it if asked but I strongly feel its unnecessary.

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.
