Current Professional Learning Opportunities through AECENL which qualify as Anti-Bias Training accepted by the Operating Grant Program (OGP):
A selection of The Equinor Idea Series Workshops including all workshops in Stream 1: The Early Childhood Coach, all workshops in Stream 2: ReThink Ability, and a selection of workshops in Stream 3: Pyramid Model Consortium including Culturally Responsive Practice to Reduce Implicit Bias and Pyramid Model Practices that Support Inclusion.
AECENL's Live Workshop Series is currently on Hiatus for the summer months and will return in the fall. When new anti-bias PL becomes available, AECENL members will receive advanced registration through our members mailing list. You can find information about becoming a member by visiting our website here: Memberships. Other ways to find out about professional learning are to follow AECENL on Facebook and Instagram, or by checking the Upcoming Events section of our website, found here: Upcoming Events.
Please be aware, it is the responsibility of the operator/OGP grant recipient to make the training opportunities available for their staff. For administrators looking to book anti-bias training as part of a PL close-out day, please feel free to visit AECENL’s Facilitators’ List for potential workshops. Many organizations that are identified as community-based have offerings that will be accepted by the Operating Grant Program.

*Note: If you are interested in a specific training opportunity and are not sure if it meets the requirements for anti-bias PL under OGP’s policy, please reach out to your regional OGP office to confirm. AECENL supports the sector by providing Anti-Bias PL options free of charge on an ongoing basis, and the Division of Early Learning, Inclusion, and Child Development (ELICD) decides which PL is accepted as part of the professional learning policy.
