Early
Childhood Action Day!
May 13th, 2008
Join hundreds of your colleagues as we travel to the State Capitol on May
13 to let our voices be heard in support of high quality early childhood
education. Our theme this year is "The Difference we Make" as we celebrate
the 10th anniversary of the T.E.A.C.H. scholarship program in Pennsylvania,
the difference in the life of a child who has a well- qualified early childhood
teacher, and the difference we can make to the system when we become advocates
for high quality early childhood education. For those who have never been
a part of an advocacy effort, we will give you the tools, training and support
to be successful! Sign up today
and we will provide everything you need to become an active part of this
growing network of dedicated early childhood educators speaking out for
children in the Commonwealth!
