Join Desired Results for Children and Families for an ongoing free webinar series focused on the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) assessment instrument.
Developed by the California Department of Education, Early Learning and Care Division in collaboration with the Center for Child and Family Studies at WestEd, the DRDP is an accountability-based system designed to support learning and healthy development for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children who are enrolled in early care and education programs and before- and after-school programs.
Webinar topics range widely, but aim to equip instructors, education leaders, and data analysts with resources and tools to meet the ever-changing needs of the early childhood field. Dates vary, but all webinars are an hour in length and qualify for professional growth hours through California Workforce Registry.
