The Call For Proposals for this year's Early Childhood Inclusion Conference is open! This year’s theme, “Keys To Unlocking Potential,” promotes strategies to embed specially-designed instructional opportunities throughout the early childhood continuum of service delivery and using data to improve child outcomes.  

We’re accepting proposals for two forms of breakout sessions:

1. 1.5 hour Strategy Power Sessions (10:30 am - 12:00 pm) - Strategy Power sessions are interactive sessions that allow participants more time to dive into the content and plan next steps for implementing the strategies discussed. Strategy Power sessions should have opportunities for active participation and group discussions. These sessions should incorporate strategic action planning and/or "Make and Take" components.
2. 45 min Impact Session (Afternoon Breakout Sessions) - Impact sessions are set for a shorter period of time to focus on a specific practice or resource in relation to this year's conference goals. Impact sessions should include engagement strategies for active participation, but allow for more direct instruction from the presenter(s). Impact sessions should conclude with 1-3 key takeaways that participants can identify as their next steps to make an impact at their program or in their classroom.
