PROFFESIONAL
DEVELOPMENT

2023 CALENDAR

​

Time is always in short supply for both early care and education providers and administrators. The LSU Early Childhood Education Institute and LAAEYC strive to be a resource for both providers and administrators through the development of targeted trainings that meet state requirements that translate research-to-practice, are time efficient, accessible and on-demand. 

​

We aim to have the majority of our trainings to be taught by Pathways Certified Trainings. We will indicate whether the  training will adhere to continuing education topics that will be appliable for credit. As specified in Louisiana Bulletin 137:  Each training provides either 1.0 Pathways clock hours: 30 minutes of training coupled with independent activities associated to the training topic or 2.0 Pathways clock hours: 1 hour of training with an independent activity. Pathways clock hours granted upon successful completion of post-training assessment.
