See the attached News Blast for recent ECE news, ECE state highlight, new resources, and research from the early care and education field. Early Care and Education Networking Call: Wednesday, November 19th! The next CDC/DNPAO monthly Early Care and Education Networking Teleconference call will take place Wednesday from 3-4 pm EST. The call will feature CDC ECE team staff member Carrie Dooyema who will discuss a set of worksheets developed by CDC. The worksheets can help states and communities assess their ECE partnerships, document their efforts to date, and help create a state profile to guide their ECE work. There will also be time for state-to-state networking. The slide set and worksheets for the call are attached. This call will be recorded and archived. NOTE: The call in number for the call is: 1-877-718-2565 and the Passcode is 67363979.
