This is the most exciting news for us all here in Australia. David Elkind is speaking via video link at our conference in March next year!!
I have been corresponding with David and asked him on behalf of a conference we are planning with the Early years K-2 group in March next year if he would like toto talk about childhood, play and the overscheduled child.
HE HAS AGREED!!!!
The play based curriculum and childhood are finally back on the agenda at every level, state, local and federal. David, as many of you may know is the author of The Hurried Child and The Power of Play, amongst other books.
I am delighted he is able to speak at our conference and that we will all have the opportunity to hear directly from him.
Please watch this space for details and email us for info if you would like to attend our conference.
