Over the past two days, I have participated in a symposium at Charles Sturt University titled Infant-Toddler Education and Care: Exploring Diverse Perspectives on Theory, Research, Practice
and Policy. It has been a stimulating time of discussion with experts from around the globe. Today presenters from 6 countries described the policy and practice for early childhood education and care and their inclusion/support practices for children:
- Liz Brooker (U.K.)
- Claire Vallotton and Jim Elicker (U.S.)
- Anne Kultti (Sweden)
- Niina Rutanen (Finland)
- Mette Gulbrandsen (Norway)
- Linda Mitchell and Jayne White (N.Z.)
CSU staff and invited guests from infant-toddler centres and services also discussed practices and policy issues in the Australian context. Thank you to Linda Harrison, Jennifer Sumsion and Fran Press who organized this fascinating symposium.
