  May 24 Early Childhood Teleconference

  Concetta C. Sullivan, New York State Education Department
  Assistant Commissioner for Child, Family, and Community
  Development, has extended an invitation to New Yorkers to
  participate in a May 24 interactive teleconference.  She also
  has announced 32 teleconference downlink sites.

  This is an opportunity for children's services librarians,
  school library media specialists, and other librarians to
  interact with others concerned with early childhood.  The
  subject of this conference ties directly to _GOALS 2000_, _A New
  Compact for Learning_, and White House Conference concerns for
  library services that help every child enter school ready to
  learn.

  Joseph F. Shubert, State Librarian

                Effective Early Childhood Practices
                       Tuesday, May 24, 1994
                         4:00-6:00 p.m. EST

  What makes an early childhood program effective? How can parents
  and practitioners work together to create a nurturing
  environment? these and other important questions about early
  childhood education will be discussed in an exciting statewide
  teleconference. This live interactive video teleconference is
  sponsored by the New York State Education Department in
  cooperation with Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES, Oneida-
  Herkimer-Madison BOCES, Madison-Oneida BOCES, SUNY Institute of
  Technology at Utica/Rome, and the New York State Satellite
  Distance Learning Network.

  This statewide teleconference will provide an opportunity for
  parents, practitioners, and community members across the State
  to examine essential elements of effective early childhood
  practices and to participate in local discussions about early
  childhood issues at approximately 32 downlink sites. It will
  also provide an interactive question-and-answer period with a
  panel of persons knowledgeable about early childhood education.

  The panelists include Dr. Mary Beth Bruder, Director of Child
  and Family Studies, University of Connecticut School of
  Medicine; Concetta C. Sullivan, Assistant Commissioner, Child,
  Family and Community Development; Carol Mulligan and Donna M.
  Elefante, practitioners; and Carlos Vidal, a parent involved in
  early childhood education. They will discuss developmentally
  appropriate programs, components of a nurturing environment,
  strategies to promote continuity, providing comprehensive
  services, increasing parental involvement, staff development and
  effective leadership.

  Teleconference downlink sites across the State are listed below.
  If you are interested in attending the teleconference, please
  register by contacting the downlink site at the telephone number
  provided. For further information on the video, please call 800-
