CEU OPPORTUNITY: Two of NASPE's most popular books for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers, "Active Start" and "Appropriate Practices for Ages 3-5", have recently been revised. Attendees will hear the most current research and new information on the needs of young children to move early in life, to be encouraged to move and play creatively on their own, and to be engaged in appropriately structured physical activity from birth. Presenters will collect feedback to further inform the revisions.
