Students in the Teaching Professions class at HCTC recently attended the Missouri’s Conference on the Young Years held at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach. This event brought together educators and professionals in the field of early childhood education to share knowledge and strategies for teaching young children.
The students were accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Hoskins, who organized the trip to provide her students with the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and gain valuable insight into the world of early childhood education. The conference included keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with educators. They also had the opportunity to hear a keynote from Eric Litwin the author of Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes and many other books. They were able to meet with the author, and get their favorite Pete the Cat books signed as well!
