First forum of early learning is well attended

 Baron Holmes, director of Kids Count SC, was the featured speaker for an Early Learning Forum on Monday, Nov. 28, at Coastal Carolina University. A 5:30 p.m. reception was sponsored by Literacy Alive.

This is the first in a series of community discussions about contemporary educational research and the importance of educating South Carolina's children. Following Holmes' talk, there was an expert panel discussion on curriculum and policy implications of early learning research.

Teachers, students, childcare providers, business and civic leaders were invited.

The forum is sponsored by CCU's Spadoni College of Education Center for Educational Research and Evaluation.
