Conversations on Early Learning
Building Connected Communities for Success
Throughout the year, HMH® has gathered key stakeholders from across the early learning space—academics, educators, policymakers, advocates and more—to discuss the fundamental role of quality early childhood education in ensuring long-term success and equal opportunity for all learners, regardless of background. The Conversations on Early Learning series has explored the power of multidisciplinary collaboration, leveraging the expertise of panelists and attendees to generate creative thinking and dialogue around concepts like playful learning, the science of learning and the community’s role in caring for young children.
In our final Conversation of 2015, Susan Magsamen, SVP, Early Learning, HMH, will lead an interactive reflection on progress made throughout the year, from new brain science research to technology guidelines, parent engagement to policy initiatives. She will challenge attendees to think about focus areas for 2016 as we continue to grow a connected community of stakeholders focused on bridging the gap between research and practice and prioritizing opportunities for the nation’s youngest learners. We hope you will join us.
Before, during, and after the event, we encourage you to join our virtual conversation using the hashtag #HMHEarlyEd. Participants (both virtual and local), panelists, and HMH staff will tweet along with you, answer questions, and share links.
