Research School Network: COU224 Early Talk for York – learning from a local context twilight For Senior leaders and those with responsibility for leading early years in schools and the PVI sector. 

Early Talk for York is an evidence based, local area approach to improving communication and language outcomes in the early years. The approach now has demonstrable evidence of closing the disadvantage gap in these crucial domains by age 5. 

In this session we will explore the key components of the approach and lessons learnt that could support other areas to consider when thinking about their own approaches.

The session will be suitable for non-York based senior leaders and those with responsibility for leading improvement in the early years in both the school and PVI sectors at both individual level and across local areas.
