Activities
WestEd will develop the CPDI; a unified online professional learning system to manage, organize, and deploy stackable credential content and credits. The CPDI will develop and deploy new online credit-bearing content and support online coaching certification, including specialized badges.
The CPDI will also pilot virtual practice-based coaching for professionals, improve and align existing professional development projects, and evaluate the impact of the professional learning system.
California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) and California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in partnership with WestEd, are excited to announce the launch of a comprehensive suite of 12 new online professional development module series designed for early learning and care professionals in all roles and settings. These module series offer engaging, interactive online learning experiences that present current and relevant content. In addition, each series provides purposeful activities, tools for reflection, and resources that extend the learning experience.
The module series, offered in multiple languages, will launch in multiple phases and be available on California Early Childhood Online (CECO). In addition, content overviews for each series will be available on the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five and Quality Counts California websites.
