Promoting School Readiness: Engaging Families and Communities

Each year the Ounce of Prevention Fund sponsors a pre-service conference for our Head Start and Early Head Start directly-operated, delegate and partner agencies. The conference provides professional development opportunities to more than 400 program staff. The conference will be held August 24, 2012 at the Illinois Institute of Technology. New this year will be policy council and policy committee parents as participants at the conference!

The Ounce of Prevention Fund is seeking proposals for workshops in the areas of education, disabilities, mental health, family and community services, program design and management, health, nutrition, and ERSEA. The focus of this year's conference is on school readiness and the importance of engaging parents and communities. Selected presenters will receive a $250 honorarium per workshop session.
