Platas and colleagues engage CSU and community college faculty across the state at Early Math in Higher Education Fall Institutes

Associate Professor of Child & Adolescent Development Linda M. Platas and colleagues from UCLA engaged more than 100 early childhood instructors and coaches of pre- and in-service early childhood teachers in three two-day institutes on early math development and learning this fall. The Early Math in Higher Education (EMHE) program provides ongoing professional learning opportunities in early math for California. These institutes drew faculty and instructors from across the state, including community colleges and CSUs. The Northern California, Central Valley and Southern California cohorts will engage in four follow-up meetings over the next six months to support collaboration.
