May 1, 2025

Career Pathway (Tipsheets), PD Registry Tipsheets

An update can be requested if an individual receives another degree or credential and wants their Career Pathway level to be re-evaluated before their annual renewal. 

Individuals who would like to update their Career Pathway placement on Pennsylvania’s Early Childhood Education (ECE) Career Pathway should follow the directions below. This process is for those who complete a degree program, earn a certificate, or successfully complete sufficient coursework to receive higher Career Pathway level. Individuals do not need to request an update of their Career Pathway placement for individual course completion.

To update:

Upload all verifiable documents that you would like to have reviewed for possible advancement on the Career Pathway. Please upload them under the Education section on your PD Registry Profile.

Complete the Career Pathway Placement Review form and email the completed form with the Subject: Career Pathway Placement Form to Donna Wennerholt (donwen@pakeys.org).

NOTE: Documents will be reviewed and completed within 60 days of a completed submission. All incomplete forms will be emailed back to the sender and will need to be resubmitted. The date of the resubmission will be used to begin the process time frame. After review, you will be notified by email.
