Content

This collaborative conference is seeking Proposals for Training Sessions on innovative practical experiences, applied recommended practices, and current information related to serving children ages zero to five and their families. Where possible, the Sessions should address Core Content areas (outlined in Kentucky's Early Childhood Professional Development Framework) which define the knowledge, competencies, and characteristics needed by early childhood professionals to work effectively with young children and their families. Please review the Rubric for Classifying Levels of Training to help determine the level of the Training Session. This event will be submitted by KAECE for conference approval, so all contact hours will count toward participants' training requirements.
