The quality of children’s experiences depends largely on the knowledge, skills and attitudes of the people who work with them. As your professional interests and the demands of the field change, it is important to continue expanding your knowledge and skills. The investment of time and money in your professional development should be intentional. Reflect on your professional growth by considering where you’ve been and where you are now. Your professional development journey will continue as you determine where you want to go next in your career, and select a clear pathway to get there.
