Are your professional development (PD) opportunities leading to a real change in participants' practices with young children and families? What if PD wasn't just a one-time event, but a strategic, data-driven cycle for lasting improvement? What if you had a clear, adaptable framework to align PD with your system's goals and the needs of your practitioners?

The Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center is hosting a five-part webinar series for early intervention (EI) and early childhood special education (ECSE) system leaders and their PD and technical assistance providers. Join us to learn about the Engaging Professional Development to Improve and Change Practices (EPIC-P) Cycle! The EPIC-P Cycle provides a process that state and entity EI and ECSE systems can use to plan, implement, and evaluate ongoing PD support for the field. It features a data-informed cycle that aligns state or entity-wide priorities and goals with the many contexts, resources, and needs existing across the state or entity.

In the webinar series, you'll get information and resources to help you plan and implement impactful professional development.

The series will be presented over five sessions:

• Session 1: EPIC-P Cycle Overview — Monday, June 16, 2025, 3:00 PM EDT
• Session 2: Needs Analysis — Monday, June 30, 2025, 3:00 PM EDT
• Session 3: Design — Tuesday, July 15, 2025, 3:00 PM EDT
• Session 4: PD Experience — Tuesday, July 29, 2025, 3:00 PM EDT
• Session 5: Evaluation — Wednesday, August 13, 2025, 3:00 PM EDT
