Just registered for this conference – Putting Science into Action: Equity from the Start through Early Childhood Development – May 13 to 15, 2009 If you are planning to be at this conference please let me know so we can connect.
Putting Science into Action
is about moving on a science-based policy framework for early child
development in Canada. It is your opportunity to learn to use the
latest research in your daily work from the best minds in their fields—experts in neuroscience, public policy, medicine, psychology, economics, education, community economic development and more.
Discover how:
- Early experience shapes the architecture and function of the brain across the life cycle
- To identify cost-effective early childhood policies that promote developmental health
- Programs that are open to all, more effectively reach vulnerable populations
- Private initiatives can leverage public policies and investments
- To use data analysis and reporting as a catalyst for change
- To join across jurisdictional and sectoral lines to advance an early childhood agenda.
