-
Early Education Matters
-
early learning experiences
available for children of Emporia Public Schools (EPS)
-
what do parents of EPS want for their children
-
what future opportunities are needed to fill gaps for children birth - 5
-
what is EPS doing next to ensure students are kindergarten ready
As part of the study session, Jodi Case, Mobilizing Literacy Family Liaison, provided the board with updates on the Mobilizing Literacy activities for the year including all of the events attended and number of children, parents and daycares that have been served.
The study session demonstrated the importance of preparing students from birth to age 5 for kindergarten and the role social emotional learning plays in students achieving post-secondary success.
