Ontario - ELECT

[notaunicorn]

I am looking at the newletter now and seeing the upcoming workshops again for ELECT. Wondering if you have any answers yet? sent a email to CCPRN asking a few questions and waiting for the reply.

Like most workshops its just a change in style in order to implement there curriculum to stay funded by the government.

If they meet there quota initiatives they get funded again for another year.

No info either but would love to get my hands on the handouts from the first two sessions and see if I can make sense of what has been shared so far. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people looking to share and I can't blame them as they gave up a whole day or two days to get them. If anyone that did attend is on the forum a synopsis would be great.

this was my email with reply by CCPRN:

[I]reading the newletter and see the Elect training, have a couple questions.



1) it says open to those without any training in the framework - does mean within the Elect prinicples or any formal childcare training?

2) It means with the ELECT framework



2) Thurs Sept 12 is an overview of all the elect domains or just one?

All elect domains

3) How often are the domains scheduled? Would I be able to get all 6 in a year or no?

I have no idea when I will offer these workshops again.

4) Will this help home daycares become registered/accredited should the Gov decide to implement such changes in the future?

Unsure J



This training is a sharing – I am not an expert. That said- I think it will be very worthwhile.

I definitely suggest you take the observation at Parent resource centre – I have no control over them offering it to us again… my training is meant to prepare you for that (to bring those who missed last year’s workshops up to speed).[/I


so - newsletter gives 2 things for ELECT : 1) ELECT principles and 2) ELECT domains and play based learning. Both 2 hour workshops. So this is not the ELECT thingy we need/should do? this 2 things are just a peek into what the workshops are? or am I just too tired from this week to get it\??
