Child and youth care education: Approaching a new millennium

Abstract

Changes within the post-secondary educational environment are having a direct effect on the child and youth care field. Issues such as an integrated education and career lattice, a curriculum blueprint, transfer credit, credit for prior learning outside traditional coursework, part-time adult learners, flexible studies, distance education, diminishing educational resources, emerging educational technologies, and community partnerships create the context for child and youth care education as the field approaches the Twenty-First Century.
