[ONLINE] – A Pivotal Year: Kindergarten’s Important Role in Students’ Education
- Virtual
- 3PM – 4:30PM EDT
Co-sponsored by ¹ú²úÊÓƵ and the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading.
We know kindergarten matters, but why it is so important often gets misinterpreted, leading to a narrow focus and rote learning in kindergarten. This restrains skills and restricts play in the classroom, which is counter to the ways that young students learn best. In this webinar, we explored the most essential areas for teachers and decision-makers to focus on to educate the whole child and make kindergarten an effective and joyful year.
