  3. Experienced Teacher Fast Track • Very individualized • Rated learners in nine areas of competence • Allowed us to be consistent • Took advantage of The Registry, an organization that by law, collects professional development information for child care workers. • Extremely time consuming and difficult to compensate faculty. The process was still too slow.

  4. Collaborative Effort • Wisconsin Early Childhood Association • Wisconsin Council for Children and Families • WTCS Colleges, especially NWTC, MATC-Milwaukee, Madison College, and Blackhawk • Mary Beth Boettcher complied material, built course in the Blackboard System and now is electronically available to all.
