Plan to join us this October 8-9, 2010 in beautiful downtown Jacksonville, FL for CDEA’s 17th Annual Conference. This will be the first of a three-part series on The Love of Learning. This year we will take an in depth look Through the Eyes of a Child and be ever reminded to keep our focus on the unique way God has designed children to learn and the critical role teachers and administrators play in a child’s multi-faceted development.Read more about the upcoming conference.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
