The biggest steps toward a life of opportunity, toward the fullest flourishing of one鈥檚 potential, happen in a child鈥檚 earliest years. Yet in Washington, one in five children grows up in poverty, and fewer than half of the state鈥檚 children are kindergarten-ready across all six domains of childhood development.
On Oct. 20, eight of Washington鈥檚 leading early learning researchers will discuss how every child can be assured a strong start during EDU Talks: Raising Washington, hosted by the 91探花 College of Education.
EDU Talks: Raising Washington will begin at 4:30 p.m. at the Hotel RL by Red Lion Spokane at the Park and is open to the public; attendees must聽聽in advance.
During the fast-paced program, researchers will share their insights into what works in early learning. With five minutes and one image, each presenter will give their unique take on the practices and policies needed to give everyone鈥攅specially our most vulnerable young children and families鈥攁 fair chance to grow, thrive and reach their potential.
