Professional Development with Early Childhood Networks

Early childhood providers participating in a workshop

The Early Childhood Networks offer professional development (PD) opportunities throughout the year to help educators connect with colleagues and learn from one another.

These sessions are held every other month and focus on timely topics in early childhood education. Recent sessions have explored play-based learning and early intervention, bringing teachers together to share experiences and practical strategies for their classrooms.

Professional development is one of the many ways Early Childhood Networks supports educators across New Mexico. Sessions are designed to create space for meaningful conversations, shared learning, and new ideas that educators can bring back to their programs.

The Networks want to hear from you.

Early Childhood Networks staff is inviting educators to complete a short Professional Development Interest Survey to help guide future sessions. The survey asks educators which topics would be most helpful in their work, including social-emotional learning, challenging behaviors, trauma-informed practices, and classroom management.

The Networks are also always looking for professional development presenters. If you have experience or expertise in a topic and would like to share it with fellow educators, you are encouraged to reach out. Presenters do not need to be Network members and are compensated for their time.

Your ideas help shape future professional development opportunities for educators across New Mexico.
