EC Learn Canvas Catalog is the Louisiana Department of Education’s Early Childhood online training and learning platform where early childhood providers can enroll and access certification courses.
During the first phase of EC Learn, Health & Safety Training, including Medication Administration in Child Care, is being launched to support the need of early childhood workforce in obtaining continuing education courses as required by Bulletin 137 and Bulletin 139.
Within each individual’s EC Learn Canvas Catalog account, early childhood educators can access and download certificates of completion for the required courses. In addition, certificates will be emailed upon successful completion of a course to the participant’s registered email address.
The benefits of the EC Learn professional learning suite include:
- Training offered is free of charge to providers.
- Providers can support staff’s enrollment in courses, regardless of group size, with flexibility around staffing schedules.
- Training certificates are more accessible.
- Providers have more control over training processes and can reduce potential deficiencies.
- Additional training will be offered periodically to support the growth and development of the EC workforce, including new teachers and administrators.
