The Family Child Care Association of New York State is proud to host Jeanine Fitzgerald's Education with Insight, Basic Studies — a two-module professional development series for educators, family child care providers, and parents.
Module One: Frameworks Matter! — October 17 & 18, 2026 Understanding the promise, embracing the possibilities This module inspires a shared vision for the future for the common good and applies unity of purpose to the field of education. It searches for opportunities to innovate ways to adjust, grow, and improve, and identifies how demographics and technology are likely to influence the direction of education. Participants will explore ways to engage not only those who have always thrived within tradition, but also those who could thrive when provided the resources and approaches necessary to do so. There are no hopeless children; but many adults who have grown hopeless about the situation they are in with the child.
Module Two: Profiles Matter! — November 7 & 8, 2026 Revealing the essence, nurturing the greatness This module leads professionals and parents toward understanding the layer of possibilities waiting to unfold — our own layers and those of our children. We will examine research-based insights that uncover strengths and apply those insights to maximize our effectiveness and outcomes. All children are perfectly designed, and we must work in ways that ensure that design is visible, valued, and supported.
