Welcome Early Childhood Professionals & Leaders!

Dear NAEYC members,

What a joy it is to welcome you to the 2023 Professional Learning Institute in Portland, Oregon!

Over the course of these four days, you will have the opportunity to choose from nearly 200 peer-reviewed sessions—each aimed at deepening and broadening your expertise on how to advance a well-prepared, wellsupported and well-compensated early childhood education profession, and foster joyful, equitable learning environments for all young children.

May you use this time to curate an experience that will strengthen your professional practice, as educators, advocates, faculty members, state leaders, and more, and advance your understanding of the innovations and latest research informing our sector. The official Institute mobile app, Whova, will help—simply download to get immediate access to all the sessions, create your personal agenda, plan your Exhibit Hall visits, and chat with other attendees.

But don’t let those connections stop there! Beyond the learning we hope you will acquire in sessions, we also encourage you to use this time to connect with colleagues from across the country and build relationships that will broaden your professional community.

We know you experience a lot of heavy and isolating challenges in your dayto-day work, especially as our early childhood education profession continues to be on the front lines of supporting young children, their families, and our broader society and economy. We hope this will be an opportunity for you to feel lightness in the context of our shared community, and to be reminded that there are thousands of individuals doing this work alongside you. Together we are #NAEYCstrong and you are exactly where you belong!

On behalf of NAEYC’s Governing Board and staff, we want to express our gratitude for the time you have chosen to spend with us and for your commitment to invest in yourself and your professional learning. Children, families, and our early childhood education field are stronger because of you!

Have an incredible time, share your pictures and reflections on the Whova app and on social media using #naeycINST, and don’t forget to explore our host city of Portland and all it has to offer!

With gratitude,

FOR PLAYFUL

Sunday Opening Plenary Session

Joyful, Equitable Learning for All

For nearly 100 years, NAEYC has been at the forefront of building a foundation for high-quality early childhood education that has helped hundreds of thousands of early childhood educators create joyful learning environments in which millions of young children and their families have thrived.

Anchored by Developmentally Appropriate Practice and the decades of research and evidence that inform it, this session will celebrate the myriad ways that early childhood educators, program directors, scholars, researchers, policymakers, and advocates can advance environments that support joyful, equitable learning for all young children.

The 2023 Professional Learning Institute Opening Plenary session will amplify the voices of members of the Oregon early childhood education profession, including early childhood educators and early learning program directors, leaders of Oregon AEYC, and our dynamic keynote speakers:

› Matt Karlsen and Susan Harris MacKay who direct the Center for Playful Inquiry to catalyze greater beauty and democracy in the partnership of children and adults.

We will also be joined by child care champion Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, who represents Oregon’s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, and leads with a focus on children, families, and educators, including those working with our nation’s youngest children. Together, our distinguished speakers will set the tone for a 2023 Professional Learning Institute focused on joyful equitable learning for all young children led by the expertise of early childhood educators who across states and communities have embraced and are committed to creating environments in their centers, classrooms, and homes where all young children feel seen, safe, and supported.

Three for One: How Spanish-Language Professional Development Supports Academic Language Development, Content Learning, and a Sense of Belonging

Portland Ballroom 252

10:30 am – 12:30 Pm

High-quality instructional support for emergent bilinguals in the classroom is a growing need in the field. Teachers in Spanish dual language and transitional bilingual programs require professional development (PD) that is designed with them in mind. We will share a model of a Spanish-language PD program offered state-wide to public kindergarten teachers in the state of Illinois.

Learn how this PD supports participants to develop their academic Spanish language skills, deepen their content knowledge in early mathematics and emerging literacy and elevates their sense of belonging to a professional community. Spanishlanguage PD removes barriers and increases the chances for teachers in bilingual settings to integrate powerful teaching routines into their practice.

In NAEYC’s 2019 Advancing Equity in Early Childhood Education position statement, early learning leaders were charged to “take proactive steps with measurable goals to recruit and retain educators and leaders who reflect the diversity of children and families served and who meet professional expectations”. Such a statement was needed because leadership in early childhood has not historically been as diverse as the educators they lead. Stories of Resistance: Learning from Black Women in Early Care and Education brings together the real-life experiences of Black women who found a seat at the table in early childhood leadership. This session will build upon their stories and offer participants the opportunity to come together and continue the path forward to realizing the goals of the position statement.

Self-Regulation for All: Developing a Deeper Understanding of Self-Regulation Research and Classroom Strategies to Meet the Needs of All Learners

oregon Ballroom 204

10:30 am – 12:30 Pm

In this interactive workshop, participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of the research on self-regulation. They will also practice new self-regulation strategies that they can immediately implement in their own classrooms with children of all abilities and backgrounds (i.e., students with disabilities, multilingual learners, students experiencing trauma). Topics include social and emotional development, as well as cognitive and linguistic strategies to promote emotional literacy, body awareness, and building attention in both children and adults. Presenters will also support participants in reflecting on their own well-being and emotional resilience as part of their ability to develop self-regulation in young learners. Participants will also have opportunities to share their expertise with each other in a fun and caring learning community.

Creating a Diverse Environment Is Not Just About the Physical Classroom: Making Families and Children Feel Welcome from the First Day

oregon Ballroom 204

2:00 Pm – 4:00 Pm

This session is designed for early educators to explore diversity and inclusion in their classrooms. Participants will examine their own biases and explore how to create an intentional, diverse, and inclusive environment through the materials used in the classroom and interactions with families and children. We will explore ways to ensure all families feel included in the learning process, including creating a space for home languages and addressing potential biases or misinformation about families. The goal is to create a peaceful environment built on mutual trust.

Programs, Policy, and Strategy: Addressing Compensation for the Early Childhood Workforce in a Conservative State

oregon Ballroom 204

8:00 am – 10:00 am

This presentation discusses the crisis in the early childhood workforce, with low wages for educators and high costs for families leading to a dwindling supply of child care and provide an example of what has worked (and not worked) in a large, conservative state in terms of programs, legislative policies, and advocacy strategies. This presentation will explore programs that provide financial savings to child care programs to invest in their staff, legislative policies that increase direct compensation and funding for early childhood programs, and advocacy strategies such as coalition-building and using legislative process expertise. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on successful policy strategies that could be accessible in their own contexts.
