Revisit the requirements of the CPL program

I also did a deferral back 2019 and because I notified them late it was noted back to me as a warning of not letting it go for so long. They did not take into account the circumstance behind it. Made me feel CPL was more important than my health and well being.

I already do so much within my role and professional development as a requirement and with raising a family !

Couldn't agree more!

Myself and my co worker are experiencing stress with this CPL since the beginning. That for sure affects our mental health which isnt heathy for us .

I also have my OCT I pay less per year to renew and have no insane amount of paperwork to do and I get so many more benefits from it which include being able to use it to get discounts on materials like books and other things.

This needs to stop!!! We don't get paid enough as it is. We are paying you! You should be helping us get better wages and working conditions!

It needs to be gone... CPL is so stupid

Our job is ime consuming enough after we plan at home on weeknights instwad of spending time with our family, let alone spending all weekend finding supplying and putting everything together. Ontop of all the extra planning we now need to complete a time consuming portfolio. I hove no isse conti uing my education, doing webinars etc but i am against the portfolio!!!

Done with CLP

I don’t agree with having to do cpl when we do enough work on our own time as it is while raising our own children

As someone who’s been on 2 may leaves since this started. It’s been a stressful addition to a newborn. Currently off due to an accident and instead of focusing on my healing. I’m stressing about getting this done.

We pay more than teachers who also do not have to do anything to keep up their memberships. There should be an easier and cheaper way to show we are staying current.

This is alot on top of our jobs and personal development work shops, and our personal lives, plus we pay alot for our licenses. Teachers pay less and get more pay and don't do cpl. We still don't get the respect we need so why add more to our plates.

I take my career very seriously! The college is doing nothing for ECEs Pay is low and we are pushed beyond boundaries of stress and what is dear to us! RECEs should NoT have to balance work with life to be recognized in a field that should be a priority in this world!

Totally agree with you.

There needs to be a better way to keep our Registration valid. We should not have to do homework, extra work when we already do so much in our own time, when we are already over worked, and under paid. Give us better security, pay, and benefits, better recognition. Then we can add the CPL to our already long days.

I thin the CPL program is too much stress. Our jobs are stressful enough. And adding the pressures of COVID are making what is expected of us (for this program) almost impossible and Unattainable. We seek workshops when we can, this should be enough. We work extremely hard.

I have no problem adding my professional development certificates each year but I do not like the current CPL

I feel that if we are professional enough to have a college we should be trusted to be professional enough to keep up to date with professional learning. The fact that our $160 registration goes towards paying the salary of people who check up on us like we are children is an insult.

I think that if you are working in the field as an RECE. You shouldn’t be required to show learning. I think that people who are registered with the college but aren’t actually currently working, then I think it’s a great tool to expand your learning. Online training would be way more affective then the CPL portfolio.
