In the Spotlight
Dr. Sue Eckenswiller and Stephanie Roy presented on the importance of land-based teaching for Indigenous education programs and provided an overview of the Indigenous Advanced Education Skills Council (IAESC).
The College has been working with staff from IAESC to develop a joint approval process for Indigenous institutes seeking to deliver autonomous ECE programs that meet the College’s education requirements for registration.
Good to Know
Council approved a new Practice Guideline: Professional Boundaries. This new practice guideline will help RECEs maintain professional relationships that are built on care, respect, trust and integrity and that fall within the parameters of their professional knowledge and competence. It will be available on the College’s website shortly.
