Supervisors and directors are responsible for providing leadership for the design, delivery and evaluation of early childhood programs, their curriculum and pedagogy. The provincial curriculum framework, Early Learning for Every Child (ELECT), guides all early childhood programs in Ontario.

In these interactive sessions participants will use the framework to review the curriculum and pedagogy in their own programs and learn practical strategies for leading its implementation. Participants will have the opportunity to answer the question "How can the ELECT framework inform practice?"

Morning session: Deepen your understanding of ELECT as a guide to support curriculum and pedagogy in Ontario's early childhood settings.

Afternoon session:Participants will integrate knowledge from practitioner research and reflective practice as they embed the core principles of ELECT into their program's curriculum.

Join faculty members and program leaders from George Brown College's School of Early Childhood

ECEBC is pleased to present its 41st annual conference, "Playing It Forward:
Discovering the Wonder and Value of Authentic Play." As early childhood educators we know the importance of play in children's overall development, and this conference will be full of opportunities to explore the many dimensions of play. The conference will also bring opportunities to examine theories and trends in our professional early childhood practices, approaches to leadership, advocacy, and other signifi cant issues that affect our field.

We are excited to offer innovative workshops, inspiring presenters, a fantastic Trade Show and Resource Fair, sit-down lunch buffets, and a Friday night Gala that promises to be an evening of celebration and fun. This year, to celebrate Westcoast Child Care Resource Centre's 25th anniversary, ECEBC and Westcoast have planned a wonderful evening at Science World on Thursday evening. It's another conference event to not miss!
