Professional Development

The Professional Development (PD) program provides the opportunity for YAEP members to build on their knowledge and expertise. It helps to improve professional growth and competence which in turn supports student learning.

YAEP’s PD program is based on the basic principle that educators’ professional growth should be designed and facilitated by educators. We encourage members to invest in their own learning and development by accessing our funding.

PD Opportunities

The YAEP provides financial reimbursement for member professional development opportunities.
