Early Childhood Education Workforce Personnel and Training Registry Systems
Comprehensive professional development systems for early and school-age care personnel are accessible and based on a clearly articulated framework; include a continuum of training and ongoing supports; define pathways that are tied to licensure, leading to qualifications and credentials; and address the needs of individual, adult learners. Enhancing a spirit of lifelong learning is one goal of any professional development system. Similar to this goal, a professional development system itself is never a finished product and should continually evolve and be refined to best meet the needs of the population it serves.
Within professional development systems there are several interconnected components. These components fall under five broad elements: (1) core knowledge; (2) access and outreach; (3) qualifications, credentials, and pathways; (4) funding; and (5) quality assurance. The Early Childhood Professional Development Systems Toolkit, developed by NCCIC, provides a compilation of resources organized by the elements of an early childhood professional development system. The toolkit is intended to serve as a practical guide for State/Territory policymakers and stakeholders, and includes definitions and overviews of the elements of a professional development system; State stories and examples; selected resources; and planning tools. It is available at http://nccic.acf.hhs.gov/pubs/goodstart/index.html.
Personnel and training registries are a component of the qualifications, credentials, and pathways element of a professional development system. Registries are databases that store and track a variety of professional development information. Personnel and training registries track practitioners’ completed education, training, and other experience and professional activities. A State’s core knowledge and/or competency areas and its career lattice can be the foundation of a registry, as it can track a provider’s attainment of training in the core areas and award certificates or credentials for defined levels of achievement.
A registry collects, tracks, acknowledges, and manages workforce data. These data can help identify trends in training participation and achievement of credentials or movement along a career lattice, and inform decisionmaking regarding workforce policies and investments. A registry can also produce records that can validate qualifications or ongoing professional development for accreditation, a quality rating system, wage incentives, and credentials. In some States, the registry is the system used to verify provider qualifications to meet State licensing requirements.
Some registries are also designed to approve and track training offerings and compile the qualifications of approved trainers. These systems can also record and track training attendance. Some registries are used to maintain calendars of training offerings for a State, region, or local area.
At least 24 States have implemented an early childhood personnel or training registry: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. There is also a regional registry in Palm Beach County, FL.
The following information provides some details about each State’s registry, followed by a quick-reference table. These examples do not include all States that have registries, but are meant to represent a range of approaches States have taken to develop/implement this component of a professional development system. NCCIC does not endorse any organization, publication, or resource.
Statewide Registries
