Showing Up With Courage To Tell Our Story
How we talk about our field matters. Many times, the words we use can unintentionally undermine our effectiveness. What are the lessons learned about how we can positively talk about our field to attract practitioners? How can we share our story to persuade the public about what is needed to fund the field?
In this episode, you’ll be inspired by our panelists’ lessons learned from research and practice, and learn how the images, words, and examples we use can help us take courageous and impactful action on behalf of ECE!
