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
