The Early Childhood & Human Development Program at Rio Salado College is pleased to provide a series of “Boutique” Conferences designed to provide the early care and education community with opportunities to hear from local, state and national experts on topics of interest. Limited attendance allows participants the opportunity to network with peers, speak with experts face to face and obtain information that will strengthen their practice. Designed to engage the adult learner, these events provide participants with ongoing learning that can support professional development goals and work towards meeting regulatory or certification requirements.

Arizona is Achieving Professionalism through Academic Success (AzAPAs)
AzAPAs is a student success and retention assessment program designed to assist early childhood practitioners in determining what personal/professional/educational barriers may restrict them from completing their college educational plans and goals. Powered by validated assessment tools, early childhood practitioners complete online adult learning tools designed to measure an individual’s motivation to learn, motivation to complete educational plans, and what college services an individual may need to access for success. Participants also receive feedback towards meeting their education goals utilizing their previous education and training. Results from these assessment tools will be used by Rio Salado College and early childhood practitioners who participate in this program to design an individualized education plan that is sensitive to the barriers identified. This project targets early childhood practitioners who are interested in completing national credentials or college degrees.
