Speakers

Keynote Speaker

 

John B. King Jr., JD., Ed.D

Secretary of Education under President Barack Obama

Advancing Equity for Young Children from Zero to Three

 

The pandemic has been an equity disaster for our youngest learners, particularly children of color and those from low-income backgrounds. The time is now to use evidence-based strategies rooted in fairness and cultural competence to re-imagine how to best provide access to developmental screening, early intervention services, and quality early childhood education in underserved communities and on college campuses.

 

Bringing a moving personal narrative and experience that ranges from classroom teacher to U.S. Secretary of Education, Dr. King is a strong voice for equity, justice, and opportunity. He will help us be inspired by and invested in the promise of a strong national future built upon the foundation of a high-quality education for each child.
