From Ascribe Newsfeed: Governor Janet Napolitano, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Education Commission of the States (ECS) will hold a groundbreaking Forum here Friday, May 30, to discuss ways of strengthening the pathways between Arizona's First Things First early childhood initiative and its existing K-12 system. The meeting will also discuss ways to integrate early childhood programs into the work of Arizona's P-20 Council, established to improve and align the state's early childhood through postsecondary education systems and align them to the expectations of 21st century employers. The Forum is the first of five throughout the country co-sponsored by Kellogg and ECS (the others are in Colorado, Connecticut, Ohio and Pennsylvania). To participate, call 1-800-227-9428 and use pass code "Arizona."
