The CAP Lower Division 8 represents evidence-based college courses that are intended to become a foundational core for all early care and edu- cation professionals. Offering a consistent educational core throughout California’s Community College EC/CD system better prepares students with the skills and abilities that best support the success of young children.

At the end of 2017-2018 fiscal year 103 California Community Colleges were participating in the project, and 91 were officially aligned to the Lower Division 8 recommendation.

The Cap Expansion Project began in August 2012 and added three subject areas to CAP: Administration (3 courses), Infant/Toddler (2 courses), Children with Special Needs (2 courses)

At the end of 2017-2018 fiscal year 48 California Community Colleges were participating in the CAP Expansion Project, and 40 were officially aligned.

The process to implement CAP Transitional Kindergarten (CAP TK) courses began in 2015-2016. CAP TK Strand courses were developed as an option to support Transitional Kindergarten teachers’ professional development and/or unit requirement needs with unit bearing classes more tailored to their specific work and be available locally and affordably at community colleges.

Courses were developed with the input of more than 40 Community College faculty and content experts who came together for the Faculty Insti- tute in June, 2016, to construct course outlines for 24 units of specialized coursework. Additional input was provided by members of the CAP TK Advisory committee including transitional kindergarten teachers, administrators, and project managers. The outlines were vetted through a sur- vey process open to all community college faculty and community stakeholders.

At the end of 2017-2018 fiscal year 6 California Community Colleges were participating in CAP TK , and 5 were officially aligned. ECE ONLINE COURSES Through the CDTC ECE Online Courses website, early education practitioners and students may search for California Community College online child development coursework by specific criteria such as topic, date, location, and areas of specialization. In 2017-2018, 283 online courses were posted. Another component of the site is a direct link to Early Care and Education/Child Development Departments at California Community College and California State University. The ECE Online Courses link is located on the ECE Online Courses tab on the CDTC website at www.childdevelopment.org.

ELCD PROFESIONAL DEVELOPMENT (PD) PROFILE DATA COLLECTION

The Child Development Training Consortium continued to compile information about the professional development activities delivered through the Quality Improvement Projects (QIP) funded by CDE/ELCD. Some of the profile data was provided through the ECE Workforce Registry. Of the 20,626 training participants 46,488 attended ECE training activities. The total number of children served by training participants working in direct service programs was 197,600. Since the ECE Workforce Registry is still in development, not all QIP projects were represented in these numbers, including infrastructure participants. The aggregate report developed with the data summarizes information about the training participants (the ECE Workforce) including demographic profiles, education and training background, and employment. The aggregate report is located on the CDE/ELCD website at http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cd/re/cdddata.asp.

WORKFORCE REGISTRY SUPPORT The CDTC supported the development process of a statewide workforce registry. CDTC planned and participated in 5 meetings with statewide ECE stakeholders to develop a governance structure, policies and procedures related to the CA ECE Workforce Registry.

ECE COMPETENCIES MAPPING TOOL The Competencies Mapping Tool is a web based software program for ECE professional development providers and higher education programs. This tool provides a way to determine where and to what extent courses and trainings align with the State’s ECE Competencies. The 2017-2018 program year ended with a total of 904 courses entered by California community colleges and universities, and 121 trainings entered by professional development providers. The Mapping Tool was expanded to allow privately -funded California colleges, universities, and professional development providers the opportunity to map courses and trainings.
