The series will occur on four consecutive Thursdays and it will focus on how to apply professional knowledge and practices to rise up above all that Covid-19 has placed in our paths. Participants will explore how to balance, manage and grow from these changes; be inspired to bring curiosity and adventure into your programs, and reflect on your role as a professional educator during these changing times. Participants will begin to define what it means to settle back into a routine of professional practice through discussion and reflection on one's role as a professional educator, while also balancing the added responsibilities that come with Covid-19.
Participants will complete this series with:

Please note there is a discounted centre rate! With this, a centre will receive ONE login and teams are encouraged to be together and watch as a group. We recommend you block off two hours and spend the last half hour debriefing together and talking about ways to apply what you have learned into your programs and practice. Perhaps you may even want to add in a 5th night to bring everything together.
There is also an individual rate for members and non-members. However, it is membership renewal time so if you are interested in attending on your own, and are not yet a member, we encourage you to apply here. Not only will you save on this event, but members receive a discounted rate on all training offered through the ECDA, as well as the option to obtain 6 hours of free PD a year!
