Children’s Development: What to Expect and When to Be Concerned: 

¨ 2010 September 20 – October 6, Chats on Mondays September 20, 27 and October 4 @ 8:00-8:45 PM CST

The U.S. Department of Education has announced a new web page devoted to early learning. According to the announcement, the web page is designed to include information about:

·         key programs, funding opportunities, resources and publications, technical assistance, and interagency work.

·         early learning in the Administration’s proposal for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

·         investments in early learning across Departments.

The page includes presentation materials, a webinar, blog posts, and public comments from our Listening and Learning about Early Learning tour. 

The link to this new webpage is: www.ed.gov/early-learning.

The Center for Inclusive Child Care was funded by the Minnesota Department of Education to increase access to high quality information and trainings on best practices in the inclusion of children with disabilities. Right now in Minnesota, this need is especially great in the more remote areas of the state and with families and early care and education professionals who have a linguistic barrier that prevents them from accessing the necessary training and services. Already posed to provide high quality trainings through a Train the Trainer model, the Center for Inclusive Child Care (CICC) focused on improving the delivery system for their services and developing innovative techniques for reaching these audiences.
