On Saturday, February 24, Cradle to Career Alliance (C2CA) is really excited to offer our first symposium of the year, entitled, Understanding Links between Social Emotional Development & Poverty. We will be holding this free event at Bush Auditorium (MU Cornell Hall) from 9-noon, with light continental breakfast / coffee at 8:30.
Our keynote is Dr. Eric Pakulak from the Brain Development Lab, University of Oregon. His research linking neurosciences with interventions for Head Start children and families was featured on PBS NOVA, School of the Future. I’ve included a link to PBS page, where those interested can find Pakulak’s work. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/school-of-the-future.html
The keynote will be followed by a panel presentation from local experts which include: Dr. Patsy Carter, Dr. Keith Herman, Dr. Laine Young-Walker, Dr. Adrian Clifton, and Dr. Jennifer Wingert.
