A look back: Wheelock College Annual Community Dialogue 2016
May 24, 2016
Children as the Focus: Promoting Quality in Early Education and Care
Wheelock College began hosting the Annual Community Dialogue on Early Education and Care in 2005. This free event brings together state administrators, providers, policymakers, educators, and many others seeking to improve the quality and effectiveness of early childhood education.
Wheelock’s 10th Annual Community Dialogue, held May 24, 2016, focused on ways to promote quality in early education and care. At the conference, we interviewed attendees on camera about the importance of early childhood education, how to best promote quality care, and the role that higher ed institution can play.

Focus on: Using Routine-Based Opportunities to Practice New Skills
Routines that occur within natural environments for young children provide the most effective framework to support and sustain intervention activities. When a child is familiar with routines, caregivers can focus on scaffolding new and more complex learning based on those experiences. Please join us for a discussion on routine -based interventions.

This conference provides an opportunity to practice many ways to nurture curiosity and wonder in ourselves and our students. It features hands-on activity stations where you can experiment with provocations and recycled materials and informally engage with Wheelock faculty from science, math, art, and education as well as colleagues from area museums and education groups.
