Description:
On January 13, 2010, an EDI-focused symposium (sponsored by the Toronto Region Professional Network Centre) is being held at the Premier Ballroom and Convention Centre in Richmond Hill. The symposium will feature sessions by Clyde Hertzman and Charles Pascal. Registration information is not yet available, but will follow.
The Early Development Instrument is a developmental checklist for kindergarten teachers. It's designed to measure a child's developmental readiness as they start school.
"Developmental readiness" is not simply academic readiness. It includes a child's physical health and well-being, emotional maturity, social competence, communication and general knowledge, language, and cognitive development, all of which contribute to a child's success in the classroom.
The ABEL Program Office will be creating a web space specifically to stream the EDI-focused symposium, which will officially launch in the coming months. For more information, please contact the Program Office at 416.736.2100 ext. 20020 or abelinfo@yorku.ca.
