We’re not in preschool anymore, Toto! The early childhood ecosystem is not what it used to be. The cubbies, materials, and layout may look familiar, but behind the scenes there are swirling, whirling, changing winds that make teaching and managing preschool programs challenging, yet exhilarating. This session will briefly examine the 2009 releases of the federally funded reports for early literacy and mathematics, and the survey of technology use in the prekindergarten settings to develop a backdrop for understanding the impact and implications for early childhood professionals. Susan will also share practical ideas about how to manage your programs using alignments with the new Pre-K Common Core Standards.
