Continuous Professional Learning is a necessary practice of all educators to maintain best practice that supports the adaptive needs of children, families, and communities. As an Early Childhood Educator and Teaching Candidate with the University of Ottawa, I am dedicated to taking part in Continuous Professional Learning and active reflection to support students holistic well-being in learning environments.

Attached above is the Continuous Professional Learning Chart I contributed to during my Teacher Education program. Continuous Professional Learning and Development has always been vital to my practice. As an educator, I understand the value of continuous learning and professional reflection as a journey that supports best practices while responding to the various needs of students, families, and the community. The Continuous Professional Learning I have engaged in is diverse to learn best practices that support all students to achieve excellence in their education, and to contribute to environments that support holistic social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual learning. I have focused much of my Continuous Professional Learning experiences towards supporting equity in education to be able to minimize the barriers minoritized students face in the school system while promoting positive mental health.
My Continuous Professional Learning Chart reflects how I uphold the Ontario College of Teachers’ Standard of Practice: Continuous Professional Learning. Educators engage in Continuous Professional Learning to improve practices that support student learning and included in the document is key ideas and methods that I strive to implement in my interactions and instructional practices with students to best support their learning.
