Creative Thoughts to Date
Thursday, March 12th, 2009After 2+ days of presentations, several creative thoughts have emerged:
1) Universality of access to early childhood information and programming
a) Print format
b) DVD or Video format
2) Exposure to ECD priniciples at the prenatal phase or right in the hospital at birth
3) Use the prenatal system and public health nurse system to first share ECD priniciples and programs with parents. Make ECD instruction to parents as important, as natural as prenatal classes.
4) Stop being so nice. The literacy community has been good at what it has done for the last 20 years and we take their role and literacy for granted. It’s time to get active, to get angry and to use new media to drive a social movement to get to full literacy.
