“BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS TO QUALITY PRESCHOOL”: live satellite conference and national strategy session – Wednesday morning Dec 1o

November 26, 2008

Dear Friend,

Please join us on Wednesday, December 10 for Pre-K Now's live satellite conference and national strategy session, "Breaking Down Barriers to Quality Pre-K."

Registration is free! Click here to find the viewing site nearest you and register, or look at the list of California sites below.

The broadcast will feature success stories from communities where pre-k advocates are overcoming common implementation challenges that can impact the quality of programs. Here are just some of the lessons and activities you can expect from the conference:

  • how local public schools and community-based providers have fostered the collaboration needed for a diverse or mixed delivery system;
  • how states have built professional development systems that help all pre-k teachers improve their skills;
  • how teachers and administrators have employed innovative tactics to better engage families in pre-k programs; and
  • how we can make progress on these and other fronts during these tough times for our economy and government budgets.

After the national conference broadcast there will also be some time to learn about preschool policy in California, connect with pre-k supporters in your community and discuss action steps to break down barriers to high-quality preschool in our state.

For questions and information contact: Araceli Sandoval, Deputy Field Director at (323) 254-1416 or asandoval@preschoolcalifornia.org.

We look forward to seeing you on December 10th!
