2024 Paradigm Project Conference

We are all early childhood champions, advocating for children and their families in various ways, from classroom practices that honor each child’s needs, to conversations in an elevator, in line at the grocery store, or on the bus, to meetings with decision-makers and legislators. Wherever we go, we share our stories inspiring others and affecting change. In this interactive session, we will reflect on the power of storytelling as a critical advocacy tool steeped in Jewish tradition. We will explore the “Abraham Model” as an effective guide for sharing our early childhood stories. Participants will also learn about Shma Koleinu, the National Jewish Early Childhood Advocacy coalition and ways to get involved!
