Description:
Join us in this dynamic conversation with Dr. Maurice Sykes, Marta Rosa and Corrine Corso as we celebrate early childhood educators and explore the need for new leadership for young children.
Without question, early childhood educators deserve accolades, respect, acknowledgement, and recognition for the strengths that has been demonstrated under the enormous stress of 2020. And, challenges remain as we must face thorny topics such as stable financing, workforce qualifications, facility management, governance systems, program standards, and public expectations.
Along with new funding, innovation and creativity are vital levers in our survival and sustainability. As we transform this historic moment into a movement for early childhood education, we need new leaders – and new voices – for young children and for ourselves. How can we be architects of the change that we need? In this webinar you will hear reflections from a national expert and local practitioners as we invite you to share your ideas on how to move forward!
