Free Advertising? 

We talk so much about mixed delivery, but since private Pre-K can't administer TK, in what ways can private pre-k be supported with State $ so they don't fail and close their doors? To be frank, we all know that if there isn't funding behind an initiative, it won't get done. ]]> 2023-04-27 17:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2570749395 MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2591974564 2023-05-15 22:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2591974564 https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2669049254 Hello, I currently work for an afterschool program in California. I was wondering where can I begin with PD to implement more developmentally appropriate programming for TK-3rd grade students? After attending this institute I realize many things need to change but I feel overwhelmed as to where to start. ]]> 2023-08-22 17:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2669049254 https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2724704387 2023-09-28 13:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2724704387 MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2730506319 I just attended a CDE webinar in which they stated that any class with early admit TK students (turn 5 after April 1, 2024 for this school year) is subject to a 1:10 ratio with a max of 20 students. If those are not met, there will be penalty for any early admit student in that classroom. In addition, I understand there is a penalty if those students are in a classroom with a teacher who does not a preliminary credential and 24 ECE units. This seems vastly different from the information I received early. Can you clarify if this is correct?]]> 2023-10-03 15:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2730506319 MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2730511573 2023-10-03 15:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2730511573 MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2730556016 2023-10-03 16:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/lt9hz5cwmosegfot/wish/2730556016
