How can early childhood educators meet the challenges that arise in day-to-day program management and ongoing design of high-quality, engaging activities that support children’s early development?

This is the core question that drives the Early Education Effectiveness Exchange (E4), a First 5 California-funded project housed within WestEd’s Center for Child & Family Studies.

In the two E4-hosted archived webinars below, guest presenters Tracy Benson and Sheri Marlin of the Waters Foundation explain how systems thinking can be a powerful tool for problem solving and supporting young children and their families.

Benson and Marlin share examples of the practices in action and provide tools and resources to help providers implement systems thinking in their own programs.
