PD Connections is a subcommittee of Institute’s Outreach & Support Task Group. It consists of a statewide team and three regional groups (East, Central, and West) which are coordinated by Regional Leads. PD Providers, Coordinators, faculty, administrators, TA providers and more gather from across the state on a regular basis to:
- address current issues and topics that are relevant to early childhood professional development
- develop strategies to inform working with individuals and programs on professional development goals in their counties, and
- provide input to the PD Connections Regional Leads to inform the work of the Outreach & Support Task Group.
