Join 630 delegates who attended the 2009 World Forum on Early Care and Education by dedicating one minute a day to advocacy.

At 1:01 pm each day — no matter where you are or what you're doing — take one minute for action. Write a letter, send an e-mail, make a phone call. Make a commitment, call for action, raise awareness. Every action makes a difference.

ExchangeEveryDay is sent to 55,000 early childhood professionals. Let's do the math:

55,000 advocacy minutes per day, 365 days per year
= 20,075,000 advocacy minutes per year
= 334,583 advocacy hours per year

Let's do it! Let's dedicate 1 minute per day, 7 minutes per week, each of us for one year.

And let's use one of our minutes to bring 3 new people into the effort — which would bring our potential advocacy hours to over a million!

Then share your story on how you plan to use your advocacy minutes on the World Forum website.

Exchange has a number of extremely helpful resources for supporting teachers in dealing with children with challenging behaviors:
