Early childhood professionals must be skilled advocates to effect change positively. Education professionals are provided with the opportunity to gain the necessary tools, strategies, and insights to influence policy and advocate for young children, families, and the profession. Education professionals explore grant writing as well as family and political advocacy and research practices integral to effective leadership roles. Through a variety of conceptual and application-based assignments, they gain practical insight on building coalitions, developing communications plans, and designing effective public policies and advocacy initiatives.
