What is the Ounce’s proposed SXSW Panel?Innovation in Early Education
Continued evidence supports the fact that the first five years of a child’s life are critical for setting the foundations for lifelong academic, personal and professional success, especially for low-income children and families. But where should we focus our efforts for the greatest impact? Which needs must be addressed most urgently?
The Ounce of Prevention Fund, a leader in research, program development and policy/advocacy in the field of early childhood education since 1982, will lead a panel discussion of the key macro-trends and urgent needs in the early learning space to address to impact our youngest learners, especially our most vulnerable.
