Dear early childhood educators and researchers,
We’re writing to invite you to join us in applying to NAEYC to form an Early Childhood Science Interest Forum. The purpose of the forum is to:

• Provide a forum for the exchange of effective strategies and quality materials for science teaching in early childhood.
• Establish and maintain a collaborative relationship with other professional organizations with similar goals.
• Build early childhood educators’ understanding of the nature of quality science teaching and learning.
• Promote public understanding of the importance of inquiry-based science in early childhood settings, as well as an understanding of what is appropriate content and a picture of what young children are capable of doing and learning.
• Support efforts to expand professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators.
  

You can learn more about NAEYC interest forums at http://www.naeyc.org/community/interest_forums
Join us as we apply to the NAEYC Board to become the NAEYC Early Childhood Science Interest Forum by filling in your information in the insert. (Your information will only be seen by the forum moderators and blog editors, and will only be shared with NAEYC, when we submit the forum application.)
