It going to take more than a new curriculum to change #SEL practice, #ece practitioners will need to value all emotions, not just the calm/positive ones. So excited to see this piece published!! https://t.co/ri2fT6vZbf

[Dr. Kate Zinsser now @setllab.bsky.social @SETLLab]

New @SETL lab publication out today draws further attention to how unprepared #ece teachers feel to manage their classrooms' emotional climate without sacrificing their own well-being.#sel #teachersfeelingsmatter #earlychildhood https://t.co/YAUQMEnhy9

$775/day to provide developmentally inappropriate (abusive?) care to these young traumatized immigrants, but qualified early childhood education providers can't be paid a living wage? #KeepFamliesTogether #earlychildhood #ece #ThinkBabies https://t.co/mFTCwf41am

@Collab4KidsOPRF We had a great day speaking on behlaf of #Illinois and #OPRF families on #CapitolHill for #StrollingThunder. @RepDannyDavis is working hard for working families and will continue to #ThinkBabies! #ECE #childcare

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

@Collab4KidsOPRF My son and I will be representing the state of IL at #StrollingThunder next week in Washington DC. We're ready to encourage our representatives to #ThinkBabies. What do OPRF families and #ECEprofessionals want our representatives to know?

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

@SenDuckworth We felt so welcome and heard. Thank you!

Also, your conference table makes a great race track for toy cars. Kid tested and approved!

We hope your daughter enjoys her new t-shirt when she grows into it! She and Graeson will be twins!

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

@SenatorDurbin is going to #ThinkBabiesAndAct after our visit today with #StrollingThunder. Thank you for talking with us about the need for greater funding of infant and early childhood mental health! #EarlyChildhood

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

It was an honor to meet with @RepDannyDavis and the newest member of the @ChicagoBears to talk about the Child Care and Working Families Act. Thank you for all of your support of our youngest citizens! You truly #ThinkBabiesandAct! #StrollingThunder #EarlyChildhood

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

We had a great visit with @SenDuckworth's staff this morning talking about the preschool expulsion crisis, infant mental health, and parental leave. She's working hard for families in #Illinois and remembers to #ThinkBabiesandAct. #StrollingThunder

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

Can't take the toddler out of this advocate! #toddlersloveconstruction #StrollingThunder #ThinkBabies

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

Wheels up for #StrollingThunder!! Here we come @ZEROTOTHREE

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Proud to attend the launch of NIH's @AllofUsResearch initiative in Chicago today. With a goal of more than 1 million volunteers, this historic medical research project will lead to a better understanding about how our environment, genetics, and experiences impact health outcomes

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

We woke up feeling sad b/c not every family in #IL can access high quality child care. So we're coming to DC to talk w/ @RepDannyDavis @SenDuckworth @SenatorDurbin about how much learning and growing I'm doing! #StrollingThunder #thinkbabies #ECE #EarlyChildhood

[Kate Zinsser @kzinsser]

@AWorthyNews Can't wait to meet you in DC at #StrollingThunder!
