Events > Summer Institute 2019

The Summer Institute is an annual collaboration between the School of Early Childhood at George Brown College and the Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto. The Institute strives to offer timely information to inform early childhood research, policy and practice. As Canada embarks on a new early years strategy, the Institute examines the importance of the early childhood workforce and the infrastructure necessary to support educators working in an increasingly challenging and diverse sector.

Join Canadian and international experts in discussing the key elements in defining and sustaining a qualified early childhood workforce. Plus workshops and poster sessions featuring leading edge approaches to advancing early years practice and policy.
