New Jersey Department of EducationOffice of Career and Technical Education Human Services Information Session Thursday, January 15, 2015 Camden County College – William G. Rohrer Center Cherry Hill, New Jersey Presenter: Michele J. Doughty, DHEd
Session Overview • To disseminate information about the Early Childhood and Development Service program of study model. • To discuss OCTE overall project efforts and 4-year progress. • To discuss steps related to future implementation and professional development.
The Basics The basic science of early childhood and early brain development answers the "why" and "what" questions about investing in young children. The applied science of intervention and program evaluation is essential to answer the "when"and "how" questions. Over the past four decades, a compelling body of empirical data from a relatively small number of successful programs has begun to answer these latter questions for young children. (Center on the Developing Child, Harvard University, 2012).
