ook for Defending the Early Years at NAEYC's Annual Conference!
 
Thursday morning 11/21: Diane Levin's featured session, Beyond Remote-Controlled Childhood: Teaching Young Children in the Media Age, 10:00 - 11:30 am in Ballroom C.

On November 13th Diane Levin published the piece Media Literacy for Young Children: Essential for School Success in Today's World in her education blog with the Huffington Post. Levin describes why she testified before the Massachusetts Legislature's House-Senate Joint Committee on Education in favor of media education for all children in the state. Levin has been looking closely for decades at media's impact on children's lives. Her writings and research on the topic are extensive. Her new book Beyond Remote Controlled Childhood: Teaching Young Children in the Media Age (NAEYC, 2013) is a much-needed resource for teachers who are seeking ways to support children (and families) whose lives and learning have been impacted by today's media-saturated world.
 
The issues Levin addresses speak directly to DEY's concerns about the loss of play as well as the increase in scripted curricula and testing in early childhood classrooms.  Please join us for Diane Levin's featured session!
 
Friday afternoon 11/22: Constance Kamii, member of DEY's National Advisory Board, presents Direct versus indirect ways of teaching number concepts to children, ages 4-6, 1:00 - 2:30 pm in West Salon I.
 
Friday afternoon: Finding Your Voice: Becoming a Teacher-Activist, 3:00 - 4:30 pm in Room 101 at the Convention Center. Thanks to the CEASE Interest Forum for sponsoring this session. Friday evening: DEY will be hosting a gathering for teacher-activists 6:00 - 7:30 pm at the Henley Park Hotel, 926 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC - just one block from the convention center. See flier here. Please RSVP to geralynbywater@gmail.com.
