Renowned expert in early education Pamela Phelps to deliver training at Center
The three-day series will take place Monday, December 8th, Tuesday December 9th, and Wednesday, December 10th from 8:30 am – 4 pm at the Main Stage, located on the 2nd floor of the United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education.
Every three years, the State Board of Education must review and revise the performance standards for young children. Just this past August, the Board approved a revised set of standards which have not yet been published.
This three day training will give leaders in our early childhood community the skills they need to navigate the new Early Learning Standards within a given early learning setting and to teach others how to implement best practices.
