We’re delighted to announce—and remind you—about the fantastic virtual training opportunities coming up through the Early Learning Quality Initiative in March and April.
We are excited to welcome Nick Terrones for his presentation: A Can of Worms: Fearless Conversations with Children.
In every classroom and home, children ask big, bold questions—sometimes sparked by an unexpected moment or a keen observation of the world around them. These questions, far from being random, are opportunities for transformation.
Through real-life stories, we’ll examine how our responses can turn moments of surprise—or even discomfort—into foundations for empathy, advocacy, and social justice. Let’s discover how courage and care, paired with a commitment to inquiry, empower children to shape a more compassionate, just world—starting with the questions they dare to ask and the statements they boldly make.
