Help all children start school strong at annual conference: Registration closes August 1

Children start stronger when the adults in their lives are working together to help them succeed!

The fourth annual Starting Strong P-3 Institute next month will bring together early learning professionals and K-12 educators to talk about innovative ways to align systems. The Department of Early Learning is proud to be a sponsor of this event.

This year's conference takes place Aug. 14 and 15 in Vancouver, Wash. Registration closes on Aug. 1! Scholarships are available. Visit http://web3.esd112.org/startingstrong to learn more and register.

The three main goals of Starting Strong are:

• Increase connections between early learning and K-12 professionals.
• Apply theory to practice within a preschool through third grade framework.
• Connect to the state Early Learning Plan and 2012 priorities.
