NNERPP Newsletter 6(15): NNERPP Annual Forum, COVID-19, early childhood ed, teachers, and new job opportunities

NNERPP ANNUAL FORUM
We are grateful for four enriching days of learning together and getting to know each other at last week's 2022 NNERPP Annual Forum. The NNERPP community’s active participation, invaluable insights, and passion for RPP work made the 2022 Annual Forum a truly inspiring learning journey – thank you!

CONFERENCE THEME
This year's theme, “What Really Matters? An RPP Learning Journey for Now and the Future,” invited us to come back to what really matters in our RPP work in light of what is currently happening and what we want to see happen in our classrooms, schools, institutions, communities, and beyond. Over the course of four days, in 24 live sessions, one keynote, a networking session and a number of “sparklers”, we pondered together: What really matters now? What really matters for the future?

THANK YOU
We are deeply grateful for the terrific participation and support of all our attendees. A special thank you to our outstanding group of presenters and to our family of funders, whose continuing financial support and thought partnership makes the Annual Forum and NNERPP possible: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, William T. Grant Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Wallace Foundation.
