We invite you to join one of DEY's Working Groups, based on these three topics:

We have big news that we are excited to share. Coming soon, DEY will become a clearinghouse for teachers of young children to share successful ideas and strategies that they have used during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will have a dedicated page and ways for our followers to easily populate this exciting new resource.

The resources will include both strategies for teaching in person and for teaching online, as well as videos of read-alouds, songs, puppets, and whatever else you can think of.

We will be launching the clearing house soon with interactive features on our website for teachers to send in their ideas. But don't wait until the launch to send us your ideas. Please help us get this started by sending your ideas to us and we will get them posted.

And Thank you!

The Washington Post recently published an op-ed written by Nancy Carlsson-Paige, DEY's co-founder and senior advisor. It is entitled "Why Schools – Now More Than Ever – Should Let Young Kids Learn Through Play (Not Worksheets)."
