The vision
and primary goal of the Project is to create a professional development
system for all individuals caring for Iowa's children.
This system
will:

and empower individuals to improve the quality of early care
and education in Iowa.
- identify
and document professional competencies of individuals
- assure
that quality training in core competency areas is disseminated
by approved trainers across the state
- improve
career mobility by increasing opportunities to link training/education
for advanced degrees
- support
individuals in receiving compensation that is commensurate with
qualifications and responsibilities
