3. Pay attention to the CKC Code: The CKC Code lets you know what topics the class will focus on as well as
the skill level. Use your PDR, your administrators assessments and self reflection to pinpoint the topics
that are the most valuable to your professional growth. Also, look for a skill level that will be challenging
but not overwhelming.

K 1: Child Growth & Development C 1: Introductory
K 2: Curriculum and Learning Experiences C 2: Developing
K 3: Families, Schools and Community C 3: Mastery
Collaboration and Partnerships
K 4: Assessment
K 5: Communication
K 6: Professionalism & Leadership
K 7: Health, Safety & Nutrition
K 8: Program Organization & Administration
4. Come prepared: To get the most of each session, you should be ready to listen, interact, take notes and
ask questions. Please bring any materials necessary to do so. Also, some sessions require outside
resources (standard books, regulations, manuals, etc.) Please read the descriptions carefully and bring
any materials the presenters requested. They will be unable to present their topic adequately without
these resources.
