DIEEC partners with several different organizations to offer quality assured training opportunities. All training that is quality assured and offered by these organizations will be listed on the registry for you to register.
Professional Learning Curriculum Approval
DIEEC designs, delivers, and evaluates training based on adult learning theories, research, and models. Since curriculum used in child care is approved by alignment with the Early Learning Foundations, and Delaware Professional Competencies, along with other essential criteria, the commitment is also that professional development is similarly aligned. Please note that all elements and fields of the curriculum workshop approval forms are required.
To deliver quality assured professional development to Delaware’s early care and education workforce, there is a two-step process for three years of approval.
The first step is to get the entrepreneur/for-profit or sponsoring organization registered. The next step is to get the workshop curriculum approved. Once the entrepreneur/organization has been accepted, the “curriculum only” may be submitted for future curriculum submissions.
