A Call to Present

Deadline to submit is May 1, 2010

The beginning is the most important part of the work- from The Republic by Plato

This past year we have seen children, families and communities deal with overwhelming challenges from natural disasters to economic crisis.  In many cases it’s not just homes being rebuilt but lives and hope.  We ask you to answer the call and help our Texas community by sharing your knowledge and experiences at the 46th Annual Texas Association for the Education of Young Children (Texas AEYC) Conference in Austin, Texas, at the Radisson Hotel and the Austin Convention Center, September 30, October 1 & 2, 2010.

This year’s conference theme, “Children: The Heart of Texas”, highlights our goal to provide professional training opportunities that will help early childhood professionals see these challenges as opportunities for innovation, collaboration and dedication when working with children and families.

Presenting at the Texas AEYC Conference provides unique opportunities for networking and professional development.  We hope that you will be inspired to give of yourself to help children, families, and their communities come together and learn from each other.  Please complete the online presentation proposal below and feel free to share it with others who may also be interested.
