63 Arizona Early Childhood Career and Professional Development Network Guide How to Submit Documentation Proof of education completed: 1. Once you register and verify your e-mail address, you will need to submit documentation to determine your Arizona Early Childhood Workforce career lattice level. Your level is based on the information in your profile and will update automatically as you continue to provide the required early childhood experience, education, and professional development information. You will enter all of your previous and current early childhood employment information in your Registry profile, under My Employment History. If you currently hold more than one position in early childhood, only one position can be listed as your Current Position. All others will be listed as Past Positions, even if it is a second job that is also considered Current. Important Information! Official transcripts must be sent to the Registry directly from the accredited institution OR you may submit official transcripts in a sealed, unopened envelope from the accredited institution. If you self-submit official transcripts in a sealed, unopened envelope from an accredited institution and there is any suspicion of envelope tampering, you will be asked to resubmit your transcripts directly from the accredited institution. Official transcripts are accepted electronically when sent directly from the higher education institution. Official transcripts for college credits and/or degrees earned from foreign institutions should be submitted to the Registry for translation and evaluation. Please submit your education and professional development documentation as follows: For high school graduation or high school equivalency, submit copies of high school diploma or transcript or GED® certificate. If you joined the Arizona Early Childhood Workforce Registry and you do not have a high school diploma or GED® , you will not be assigned a lattice level. However, you may still be an active registry member and access the many resources and professional development opportunities available to every registered early childhood professional in Arizona. For college/university transcripts, submit official transcripts for all credits and degrees. Official Transcripts will be verified that they are from an accredited institution listed in the U.S. Department of Education Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs (http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/). a. b.
