EARLY LEARNING 2020: Leading & Learning in the New Decade TUESDAY
7.03 | Learning to Lead: An Introduction to Leadership
CKC | D6.9 C1
Rose Snyder, Director of Member and Educational Services, Pennsylvania Association for the Education of Young Children
Maybe you were focused and planned carefully to become a leader, or maybe you never intend to be a leader - but now here you are! Maybe people come to you for leadership and guidance even though you are “not in charge.” Leadership
in ECE is one of the most important jobs you hold! No matter how you landed or intend to land in leadership you have
a very specific responsibility to your program, colleagues, children, and families. We will explore and compare various leadership characteristics that influence the way others view us and the way we view ourselves as leaders. We will briefly review leadership styles and the importance of knowing your personal leadership style and the styles of others you are trying to lead.
7.04 | Supporting Infant Teacher Degree Attainment
CKC | K6.5 C2
Laurie Litz, T.E.A.C.H. Director, Pennsylvania Child Care Association; Amy Friedlander, Consultant, Amy Friedlander Consulting
National data reveal that infant teachers are more likely to be women of color, without degrees, and less compensated than their ECE peers. In Pennsylvania, there are programs such as the T.E.A.C.H. Scholarship, Professional Development Organizations (PDOs), and Rising STARS Tuition Assistance (RSTA) that help to promote degree attainment and increased compensation for this critical sector of our workforce. This session will explore each of these programs further and share insights and challenges from directors currently supporting infant teachers in advancing their education. Presenters will provide guidance to help directors and teachers determine which PD support program would best meet their needs and how to access these resources.

Blair Hyatt, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Head Start Association
This four-part series will provide leaders in the Head Start/Early Head Start community with relevant updates at the federal, state and local levels. The series is facilitated by Blair Hyatt, PHSA Executive Director.
