    Dear community members,

    You are the most important part of the Power to the Profession conversation and your perspective matters! Add your voice and complete the survey by April 30 for the current decision cycle to help inform the future of the early childhood education profession.

    By completing this survey, you will help shape the structure of the future early childhood education profession. The questions are based on the Decision Cycle 3, 4, and 5 draft from the Power to the Profession Task Force and cover topics related to preparation, specializations <g class="gr_ gr_20 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="20" data-gr-id="20">and</g> pathways for the profession. A summary of the proposed recommendations is also available.

    No final decisions have been made and the Task Force is clear that they "eagerly and enthusiastically seek input and feedback on the proposed recommendations."

    Share your voice to join the movement to advance early childhood educators.

    Best,

    Please, all child care owners, executive directors, and other stakeholders, participate in this conversation.  The task force would like your input.  I have held out hope for 24 years that early childcare and education teachers would be seen as professionals.  This should be followed closely, as there is still much to be thought out.  Please take the time to open the survey and give your input.  It's a bit lengthy to read, but I implore those in the early childhood field to make their thoughts known.  Thank you,
