Audience: Early Childhood Educators, PreK-Grade 3 Teachers, Administrators

Dates: 2/2/2023 to 5/25/2023

The Early Learning Educators' Network is back in 2023.

Together, we will build upon each other's experiences to strengthen practices and build resources.

The NYSED Introduction to the New York State Next Generation Early Learning Standards highlights the importance of understanding that " Standards serve to articulate the expectations of what [young] children can learn and do as a result of instruction that is not standardized, but personalized, differentiated, adapted, culturally and linguistically relevant, and context-based.” We will explore these topics through various approaches.

Network Goals:
- Convene Early Learning Educators to collaborate and deepen learning
- Ground our work in NYSED's Office of Early Learning resources and research from the field
- Identify an area of focus and implement action steps
- Contribute to Network resources and co-construct priorities
