Program faculty from the School of Education collaborated and presented at the recent National Association for the Education of the Young Child (NAEYC) Professional Learning Institute, held in New Orleans in June. The NAEYC's Professional Learning Institute brought together seasoned and emerging early childhood professionals and leaders in a community of learners. Approximately 200 sessions were held over 4 days, featuring individuals and teams from across the nation who focused on deepening the early childhood knowledge base, addressing challenging and controversial issues facing the field, and developing skills to improve professional development and practice.
