2021 Early Learning Conference
Equity at the Start
Early Learning for All Children
April 14-24, 2021
Includes PreRecorded and Live Sessions via Zoom
What a year of waiting! We are so excited to share that, due to amazing partnerships with early learning colleagues and the Continuing Education Department at Central Oregon Community College, we are able to announce the 2021 annual Early Learning Conference! We look forward to seeing you in an online, virtual format for more than a week of professional development and networking.
In 2021, we return to the original theme from 2020, Equity at the Start-Early Learning for All Children. This highlights equity-driven and resilience-focused programming, curriculum, and advocacy to support all children and families. In alignment with the NAEYC's most recent position statement, Advancing Equity in Early Childhood Education, our regional conference will focus on the ways in which our profession, and our interactions with children and families, can foster opportunities for success for all learners.
