Tools to support this process, including a planning guide and a definition and conceptual framework for professional development will be shared. Examples will also be provided of how two states (Minnesota and Pennsylvania) are using this process to build regional, cross-sector early childhood professional development systems to support professional development and inclusion.

How do we expect professionals to keep up with the rapidly developing knowledge in this interdisciplinary field? How can we effectively mobilize knowledge for action? Presenters in this symposium will share a theoretical framework and planning guide and illustrate how it applies to a coaching model of professional development. Participants will practice using the planning guide and applying the framework to a real life situation. (Pam Winton & Dathan Rush; December 5, 2008; ZERO TO THREE National Training Institute 2008.

How is inclusion influenced by the evidence-based practice movement? This multi-media keynote session takes you on a journey that explores the moral, social, educational, and empirical foundations of inclusion from an international perspective. We will propose a definition of high quality inclusion that reflects the best thinking of the general and special education fields in the U.S. In addition, we will introduce the most promising practices to achieve universal access to inclusion and promote full participation, effective supports, and desired results for young children and their families.

Note: Professional development is broadly defined as facilitated teaching and learning experiences that are transactional and designed to support the acquisition of professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions as well as the application of this knowledge in practice.

Each state has taken a unique approach, taking into account state-specific players, initiatives, opportunities and challenges. This session will highlight the work in progress and lessons learned. Participants will learn how to implement the NPDCI approach at state and local levels.

She emphasizes a process of wisdom-based action which involves integrating the best available research, most relevant experience-based knowledge, and most current policy. She also emphasizes what can be accomplished through family-professional partnerships that move people from simply knowing "best practice" to thinking and acting wisely. Finally, she highlights how the Early Childhood Family Support Community of Practice is seeking to learn more about how to best support families and practitioners to take wise action concerning how to live life inclusively.

Moreover, a statewide multiagency system is needed to ensure effective professional development. This session will highlight how the National Center for Professional Development on Inclusion (NPDCI) is working to change what we know, what we don't know and what we do about these important issues.
