The Early Childhood Policy in Institutions of Higher Education (ECPIHE) initiative is a national project that has been working over the last seven years to instantiate a new field of study, Early Childhood Policy (ECP), as an answer to a long-standing call for pathways to prepare leaders for a career in early childhood policy.
To that end, the effort seeks to train individuals to take on the challenging, yet essential, roles of influencing and advancing coherent policies for young children and their families and will ultimately spread the word about ECP nationally and globally. Join Dr. Gail Joseph, ECPIHE Network Leader, and Dr. Kathy Thornburg, co-founder of the ECPIHE initiative, as they moderate a discussion on the progress ECPIHE has made over the last seven years and its goals for the future.
They will be joined by stakeholders to highlight different perspectives of the ECPIHE initiative, including a center director, a policy alum, and a member of ECPIHE.
