Hello Community! I have decided to pause my monthly live discussions until this community grows a bit more. Instead I will record short videos to guide your reflective discussion. Here is the first one on Centering Whole Child Development! I'm still hosting my live series Embracing ECEC Values as Resistance each Wednesday at 7 pm EDT. You can join the live on my Facebook page or Instagram Page. And for Platninum and VIP subscribers I host a free monthly guided discussion. Upgrade your membership today to access our current course, Using What We Know and join the live discussion next Wednesday 5/27 at 6 pm EDT. All new members receive one week free access to the current course and the live discussion!

Happy May! This month, we are focusing on Centering Whole Child Development! At Defending the Early Years, we launched a campaign to restore the link between high-quality and child development. As early childhood educators, we must center whole-child development as the goal for high-quality early childhood education. Check out the guided reflective prompts and save the date for our monthly Free Live Guided Discussion on Wednesday, May 20th at 7 pm EDT/6 pm CDT. These monthly free lives will now be shared on my Facebook or TikTok pages. Just click on the link in the calendar to watch live!
