In 2023, Wilder Research contracted with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and Department of Human Services (DHS), in partnership with the Children's Cabinet, to conduct an Early Care and Education (ECE) Workforce Survey. A similar study was done in 2011. The purpose of the study is to describe characteristics of the ECE workforce and assess educators' economic wellbeing in addition to their motivations for participating in training and professional development opportunities. Early childhood educators from a variety of public and private settings were randomly selected to participate in a mail-push-to-web survey. In total 1,050 educators responded. This summary highlights results from survey questions related to professional development, which includes training, coaching, mentoring, and business consultation.
