NEW Inclusion Course Coming in 2012!


A new resource is being developed for child care providers and all general early childhood teachers and staff that will be available this coming year. The course, which will be offered in a variety of formats,  is intended to provide an introduction and overview to best practices for creating inclusive settings for young children and their families, and for building partnerships with school and community resources.  It's purpose is to help general early childhood professionals develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required to meet the needs of children with differing abilities.  Watch WDEC and Collaborating Partners websites for details as they develop!
