SUMMARY:Planned Language Approach
DESCRIPTION:Planned Language Approach (PLA) is a comprehensive process that early childhood programs use to manage and implement high quality language and literacy practices for ALL children—those who are dual language learners (DLLs) and those who are English speaking. PLA recognizes that language and early literacy development are at the core of children’s long-term success. Therefore\, it ensures that young people and their families receive the comprehensive services needed for young children to thrive (Isaacs\, 2012; Snow\, Burns\, & Griffin\, 1998). \nA Planned Language Approach incorporates proven strategies: \n\nResearch-based approaches to ensure that children close the achievement gap at an early age\n Early language and early literacy environments and experiences that are known to support children’s long-term academic success\nConsistent and responsive family engagement in children’s educational and social growth\, especially in supporting the home language of DLLs\nCareful and intentional implementation of research-based practices that can prevent reading failure and promote school success\n\nA cohesive PLA guides program-wide planning and decision making about language and early literacy practices. Individual teachers may have different levels of understanding and skill in key teaching practices. Instructional decisions such as these should be intentional\, program-wide\, and based in research. When a program-wide PLA is in place\, critical decisions about the amount and kinds of language and literacy experiences are guided at the program level in order to ensure that all children receive high-quality experiences\, even as their teachers individualize for each child’s unique needs. \nPlanned Language Approach is a guided process that supports Head Start and Early Head Start programs to plan and implement high-quality language and early literacy services in ALL classrooms and for ALL children. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:NHSA – 2017 Fall Leadership Institute
DESCRIPTION:Register at NHSA.org\nSeptember 25 – September 28\n  \nLeadership in Action\nNow more than ever\, the leaders of the Head Start community need to come together to preserve Head Start’s current funding level and structure.  There continues to be a massive amount of change underway in Washington\, and we need to continue doubling-down on our leadership and advocacy on behalf of Head Start’s children and families. There will undoubtedly be challenges ahead\, but together the Head Start community will continue to turn those challenges into the opportunity to make progress for the children\, families and communities we serve across the nation. \nNHSA’s Fall Leadership Institute is important not only because it offers informative sessions\, engaging panels\, and invaluable networking events\, but because it also provides the opportunity to meet with Members of Congress. The Government Affairs team will make sure that you have all the resources necessary to schedule Hill meetings with your Members of Congress during the week of the Institute. These meetings are critical to maintaining a strong working relationship with Congress and making sure that Head Start’s voice is heard. \nGet Ready to Start Early!\nOnce again we will be starting early to accommodate a huge amount of content – be sure to arrive in D.C. before 10 am on Monday! This year’s Institute will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City\, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House. \nBy convening leaders from across the country\, our Leadership Institutes help drive the Head Start Advantage forward. The team at NHSA (and Members of Congress!) are always inspired and galvanized by the stories\, ideas\, and concerns that are raised. \nTogether\, we will make sure that these dialogues lead to results. \nDuring this year’s Institute\, not only will there be the normal sessions focused on pressing policy issues\, advocacy challenges and the opportunity to hear from senior staff from the Office of Head Start (OHS) but we are also offering a unique experience for Head Start parents from every state.  The Parents as Leaders Training is an unparalleled day-and-a-half educational training. \nThis first-time opportunity will provide intensive educational content and training for parents that will include discussions of Head Start’s roots\, parent and family engagement\, facilitating family nutrition and health\, and program governance\, to name a few. These learning opportunities will develop parents’ leadership skills through dialogue about their role as their child’s first teacher; and address topics such as navigating the K-12 school system\, the art of storytelling\, public speaking\, and engagement in Head Start program governance.
