MiRegistry Career Pathway Introduction

Did you know MiRegistry members are awarded a level on the Career Pathway based on the education and training that is verified in the MiRegistry system?

The Career Pathway is an excellent resource for early childhood and school age professionals to document and quantify their professional growth and accomplishments, and by doing so, to define and advance the profession. The Career Pathway has 8 sequential career levels, starting with Foundational
Level 1. Each level lists different education or training requirements. A member who meets one of the requirements listed in a specific level (identified by an asterisk *) will be awarded that level based on the information submitted to and verified by MiRegistry. Meeting the requirements of prior levels is not required.

Though this isn’t a full list of all career opportunities, it is a great place to get started.

Professional Development Planning
Making a professional development plan can be challenging. Use this resource as a starting point to see possible pathways you may want to pursue when making 1-year or even 5-year plans.
