The Illinois Birth Through Third Grade (B-3) Continuity Conference was held June 13–15, 2016, in Bloomington-Normal.
This conference is collaboratively planned by the Illinois Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development (OECD), the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), and Illinois State University’s Center for the Study of Education Policy (CSEP). The conference builds the capacity of early childhood and elementary education staff to provide informed leadership about research-based practices to develop an effective system of supports and services for children birth through third grade.
The Illinois Birth Through Third Grade (B-3) Continuity Project website provides information about the Birth to Third Grade Continuum. A 2016 conference website is also available with materials for those that missed the conference.
