The Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools will provide a forum for sharing and discussing the latest research on early childhood when it hosts an April 10 summit in Lincoln, Neb.
Co-sponsored by the Buffett Early Childhood Institute and First Five Nebraska, the 2014 CYFS Summit on Research in Early Childhood will feature three rounds of presentations that outline recent findings from CYFS faculty and affiliates. Subsequent small-group roundtables will facilitate discussion of how these findings can inform early childhood practice and policy.
The third biennial summit will include a keynote address from Lynne Vernon-Feagans, a William C. Friday Distinguished Professor of early childhood, intervention and literacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Lodge at Wilderness Ridge will host the free event, which runs from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and includes a plated lunch. A reception and poster session highlighting graduate student research will follow from 4-5:30 p.m.
Registration for the summit has closed due to capacity.
