Would you like to be part of a local Community of Practice in Windsor working with the AECEO and our partners to build an ECE led movement for professional pay and decent work? Join AECEO Coordinator Lyndsay Macdonald for an exciting leadership workshop, Building ECE Power for Change!

This workshop will provide training and mentorship to ECEs and early years staff who want to be part of the movement.

The workshop teaches new and existing leaders how to:

• Gain self confidence to tell your story/speak your mind to motivate others  
• Recruit members of your community/program to work towards a common goal
• Build strong Communities of Practice (CoP) that foster leadership among ECEs, staff and parents
• Strategize in a CoP setting and utilize tactics that build power and move decision makers
• Have a strong social media presence

Participants will take away skills and knowledge that can be used to organize local Communities of Practice (CoP) to actively participate in the AECEO's exciting Professional Pay and Decent Work Campaign.

When:

April 14, 2018 from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. 

Lunch and refreshments will be provided

About the AECEO's Professional Pay & Decent Work Campaign 

Since 2013 the AECEO's Professional Pay & Decent Work Campaign has been successfully engaging and organizing hundreds of RECEs, early years staff, parents and community members in Ontario to advocate for all children and families to have access to quality affordable early years and child care programs where RECEs and staff are well-supported with professional pay and decent work. The overarching goal of this campaign is to build and sustain an ECE led movement for decent work. The campaign is a project funded by the Atkinson Foundation Decent Work Fund. Our project partners include the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care (OCBCC), Institute for Change Leaders (ICL) and Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development.
