• Utilize faculty from diverse Ohio institutions of higher education to provide consistent research-based information linking early childhood academic content standards with effective teaching strategies and practices.
• Provide forum for sharing experiences and ideas for the integration of content area material across the curriculum in the early childhood classroom.
