On November 4, 2010, Lisa Guernsey of the Early Education Initiative was part of a panel on PreK-3rd grade education at the National Black Child Development Institute's annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif. (The event was also part of the National Association for the Education of Young Children's annual conference.)

Her remarks focused on how an emphasis on professional development for teachers and principals, combined with the collection and responsible use of data on children's educational experiences and outcomes, could help to better connect pre-k settings with the early grades of elementary school and improve children's chances for success as a result.
