The theme of the 2022 meeting will be Inspiring Everyday Learning:  Thinking Beyond the Book and the Keynote speaker is Sonia Manzano – otherwise known as Maria from Sesame Street. Attendees will be administrators and/or lead teachers from Pre-K Counts and Head Start Supplemental Assistance teams.

The Office of Child Development and Early Learning and the PA Key are seeking a variety of sessions which will help participants think about how to provide the most beneficial experiences for their students and how to make the best use of their chosen curricula. 

Ideally, these learning opportunities for grantees would be delivered through an equity lens and will help spark creativity, problem solving and other 21st century skills. They should be based on research and able to be connected to Pennsylvania’s Early Learning Standards.  

Individuals, teams, and panel discussions are welcome!  All workshops should be 1.5 hours.

View the application for details and requirements. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, December 14. Applications should be submitted to Cyndi McAleer at cynmca@pakeys.org.
