The Individual Professional Development Report is a summary of all the information that an early childhood professional has uploaded into their personal TECPDS accounts. The report is a history of an early childhood professional’s early childhood career. The report includes:
- Career Pathway level
- Education and credentials
- Work experience
- Professional development and training completed
- Other files that have been uploaded
Center Directors have the ability to upload to add records for any staff who have connected to their center on TECPDS. A Center Director may only add records, they cannot delete or edit records for training/workshops or education pages. They cannot edit the employment or contact screen.
For TRS providers, this report will be used to score Category 1 of the TRS Assessment, Director and Staff Qualifications and Training.
