PFCE professional development is important for all staff, regardless of their role. Professional development plans can be aligned with both continuous learning and improvement data, as well as family and community feedback. These plans include training, ongoing supports (e.g., coaching, supervision, recognition of challenges and successes), and information about career options.

When staff members come together as a community, they create a mutually supportive environment for continuous learning and improvement. Families, other community members, and staff can co-design and -lead trainings to strengthen family and community partnerships.
