Vice President of Impact: @LENAEarlyTalk. I care about: kids, saying yes to new ideas, & believing even before listening.

[Early Milestones @EarlyMilestones]

We're so proud of CIRCLE grantee @LENAEarlyTalk and all they have accomplished in one year w/ the #CIRCLEGrant!

The grant is funded by @COEarlyChild (CDEC) thru the federal American Rescue Plan and CRRSA Act. We are partnering with CDEC to administer the CIRCLE grant program.

[Katharine Correll @KatSCorrell]

Thanks to support from @EarlyMilestones, @LENAEarlyTalk supported a 115% increase in the number of dual language learners served by LENA Grow. Increasing conversational turns while respecting cultural and linguistic identity is incredibly important--what a transformative grant.

Had the opportunity to write for @LENAEarlyTalk in celebration of early childhood educators: https://t.co/PBUCWc9NoE. Take a look!

[Katharine Correll @KatSCorrell]

No matter what your stance is on the prerequisites for aid (employment, here)--our current policies harm children. How can we expect better generational outcomes for kids if we don't support the generation caring for them? https://t.co/BaLAouHosh

.@LENAEarlyTalk is statewide in TN! https://t.co/GQI8W4MxKS "'The TN CCR&R sees the LENA Grow program as an important piece of the puzzle in proper language and socio-emotional development for children in Tennessee,' said Heather Hicks, Director of the TN CCR&R." @SignalCenters

@KatieAlbitz I’m glad you’re bringing this up. We’ve been revisiting the idea of a “deficit based” versus “strengths based” framing & it seems like maybe it’s time to directly acknowledge there are real problems and “doom & gloom” should be a motivator & not an insult.

[Katharine Correll @KatSCorrell]

Great brief! I’d love more info on what data to look at when planning, like here: “For other considerations, there is a min level that all cities should aim to meet; …evidence suggests that preschool rooms should have a max of 20 students w/ a max ratio of 1 adult:10 children.”

“Innovation to help students make progress should be the default, not an act of permission granting from bureaucrats.” How about we dispense with policies that we need to circumvent in order to serve students?

[Education Next @EducationNext]

"School districts have limited capacity and capabilities to begin with. For a state to offer relief from restrictive policies and regulations through a set of waivers adds more effort and complexity to what’s already a heavy lift." https://t.co/E5B9mZUWkb

Listened to @RachRodgersEsq's video on @Inc today: https://t.co/1vptN2VkdC. She's coaching women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, and people living with disabilities to build their business & earn more revenue. Her quick tips are spot on--have a listen!

.@KristenBrummel I've got a couple great Hawaii early childhood educator stories for you! https://t.co/3cit7oiDRP. Makes me smile when I get to think of you and @808TFellows again. 🙂

[Linda Shockley @blueridgegurl]

10 yrs ago, early childhood advocacy was a lonely pursuit, says @BDPerry. Now…people recognize the power of early childhood, importance of creating policy + practice to benefit children.” 5 fascinating pts! @SwartzMark @NeuroSequential @readingby3rd https://t.co/1qXc8tfk1i

[Katharine Correll @KatSCorrell]

.@PorterLeath has a waiting list of teachers for LENA Grow, where they can see child-by-child how much interaction each is receiving. Heard last week this was true in NYC for FCC providers, too, because parents wanted to learn more about their child's childcare experience.

[Katharine Correll @KatSCorrell]

Warmed this Valentine's Day listening to updates from the @UrbanChildInst funded @LENAEarlyTalk collaborative in Memphis, w/ @PorterLeath, @LeBonheurChild, @uofmemphis & now @SignalCenters.
