Early Math Talk: Best Practices at MassAEYC Spring Conference

I had a great time at the Massachusetts Association for the Education of Young Children's Spring Conference yesterday.  Glad for the connections I made in the Transforming Program Quality through Intentional Leadership session.  And also glad to have been able to talk with teachers and directors about the importance of math talk in the early childhood classroom.  I've uploaded the handout below.

Also here are links to some of the other resources from the handouts...
