July 2024 Monthly Update
This month, the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) celebrated and honored the third Annual Early Childhood Teacher and Leader of the Year at the 18th Annual Cecil J. Picard Educator Excellence Awards Gala. We congratulate Rockeisha Walker for being recognized as Louisiana’s Early Childhood Leader of the Year and Nicole Williams Ross for being recognized as Louisiana’s Early Childhood Teacher of the Year. Both women continue to strive for excellence for our youngest learners.
Next month, our partner, For Providers by Providers, is holding their second annual early learning conference, Recharge Your Mind, Body and Business. Motivational keynote speakers, expert panelists, presenters, and wellness professionals will convene on August 9-10, 2024, at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans to create a truly unforgettable professional development event for leaders, parents, and partners in the early childhood education space.
Thank you for advocating on behalf of young children and families in Louisiana!
