Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) reputation as a leader in early childhood education is highlighted by its involvement in the second Early Years Education Ontario Network (EYEON) Symposium on Friday 16 April. The event will bring together a range of organisations with responsibility for young children including 250 administrators, researchers, front-line teachers, early childhood educators, and government policy makers. The Program Director of CSU’s Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies, Dr Pat Dickinson said, “Charles Sturt University has provided substantial support in organising and facilitating the symposium, and continues to be an active member of EYEON. The main aim of the symposium is to link current teaching methods into research in early childhood education. EYEON members work to promote advocacy for children from infants to eight years by building knowledge and capacity, professional learning and research in action.” Other symposium sponsors are the Council for Early Child Development, the Peel District School Board, The Learning Partnership, and the Halton Catholic District School Board. The keynote speaker is Mr Jim Grieve, the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Early Learning Division in the Ontario Ministry of Education.
