Convening – September 2005
The 2005 national convening of Build Initiative states was
held on September 13 – 15, 2005 in Baltimore. Each Build
state brought a team of five to seven participants. The agenda
included large group presentations, concurrent cross-state
workshops, individualized state technical assistance, and
state team time. Plenary sessions focused on developing an
infant-toddler system; culture, language and poverty issues
in system building; and lessons from Georgia’s new Department
of Early Care and Learning. Workshop topics included state
solutions to financing challenges, compensation initiatives,
promotion of social emotional readiness, expansion of prekindergarten
programs, and development of political will in an election
year.
