| | | National Early Childhood Inclusion Institute | The Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provides exciting opportunities for young children. The Inclusion Institute has always been a place where the many sectors (Head Start, IDEA Programs, Child Care, Resource and Referral, parent leaders etc.) that serve young children, especially children with disabilities, come together to learn and share. This year the institute will provide participants an opportunity to problem solve and learn from others about how the ARRA funds can help state or local programs promote inclusive services and supports for young children with disabilities.
Institute participants will also learn about the latest research findings and resources to guide inclusive policy, professional development and practice; develop collaborative relationships and cross-agency systems to support early childhood inclusion; gain awareness of strategies and models to support inclusive services; and have the opportunity to meet, learn from and problem solve with peers.
The Inclusion Institute begins at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 and will end at 12:30 pm on Thursday, July 16, 2009. The Institute will be held at The William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
