Looking Forward……seven steps to change

Step up efforts to support families  Improve parent child relationship  Include fathers, grandparents, foster parents, extended family, unite the generations  Provide time, information and networks of support  Meet families where they are  Build the higher education capacity to focus on families

Have high expectations for children  Joy  Order  Persistence  Curiosity  Language and math  Compassion  ……………………………………….

Put in place the key elements of effective programs  Positive teacher-caregiver/ child interactions  Mentoring and working conditions  Intentional use of data/feedback to guide practice  Infrastructure of support for families, health and mental health promotion

Create early learning communities  Governance  Data During pregnancy and at birth At three years old At five years old At the end of third grade  Quality assurance system  Linkages with schools

Continue to find evidence  What are the key elements that lead to improved child outcomes in early childhood programs?  How can the gains be sustained over time/ how does one program build on another?  What is the impact of media and technology on young children and family relationships?

Build the next generation of leaders  Leaders that understand research, practice and policy  Leaders that reflect the languages and the cultures of the children we serve  Leaders that understand the importance of a round table.

Take care of yourself  Your health Your family Your friends  Your spirit
