The conference will be practice-focused and practice-informed. It will feature sessions from educators and other child-serving professionals who will share ideas, stories, and inspiration. Questions that will be explored during the conference include:

  • How does Fred Rogers’ work inform practice in classrooms, communities, and child- and youth-focused spaces?
  • What can adults draw from Fred Rogers’ work as we seek to be children’s helpers in our world today?

The conference will be of interest to educators and practitioners who work in the direct service of children and/or families, or who provide support to those who provide support to those who work directly with children or families.

Educators, clinicians, and practitioners in numerous child- and family-serving fields continue to turn to Rogers’ legacy to inform their practice. His wisdom continues to inspire families and children’s helpers.

The agendas for day one and day two are both available.
