In pursuit of promoting high quality inclusive education for all young children, DEC and NAEYC have partnered to create numerous resources and supports over the years for preservice preparation programs and professional development providers who seek to address both ECE and EI/ECSE personnel preparation standards. One notable result has been the development of formal procedures for alignments of the preparation standards promoted by these organizations. In this paper, we detail this established tradition of early childhood standards alignment analysis by describing the development and details of the procedures used for conducting alignment analyses. These procedures are now precedent and provide a roadmap for future alignment analyses. Implications for personnel preparation and future alignment analysis and standards development are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44637579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

International field experiences that immerse pre-service teachers (PSTs) in another culture can provide a transformational experience that leads to personal and professional growth and the use of culturally responsive practices. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how an 8-week student teaching experience in Ecuador impacted PSTs’ understanding of special education and their perceived ability to work effectively with culturally and linguistically diverse children and their families. We conducted semi-structured interviews with six undergraduate PSTs who student taught in Ecuador in Fall 2019. Participants described an awareness of culturally responsive practices, new perspectives on special education, and a shift in confidence and self-efficacy. This international experience provided different opportunities than traditional domestic field placements. PSTs described their responsibility for planning and implementing interventions with children with special needs as heightening their interest in special education. Given the transformational nature of international field experiences, personnel preparation programs should consider replicating key components of international field placements within cross-cultural domestic field placements.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49612451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reflection aids preservice educators in connecting course content with field and clinical experiences thus strengthening their preparation. The authors demonstrate how one blended ECE and EI/ECSE preparation program integrates professional preparation standards into a framework for enhanced reflection.Data from reflection assignments from over 130 preservice educators across 9 years has been collected and analyzed. Data retrieved from this assignment represents impact data and is used by the faculty to not only monitor and support individual preservice educator growth but also for continuous improvement for the blended preparation program. With reflection prompts aligned with professional standards, program faculty are able to identify areas of strength and growth in accordance with the standards for both the candidates and program. Detailed discussion of this pedagogical approach for candidate reflection as well as continuous program improvement is provided in order for other programs to replicate and adapt to strengthen reflective practice and collect program assessment data for their own continuous improvement.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43713703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing data from transcripts of regularly submitted teaching reflections, we examined how these novice educators perceived and reacted to this situation, to determine the influence of this unique event on their professional growth. Findings revealed that while some elements of student teaching appeared similar to the experience of candidates completing student teaching in earlier times, these candidates’ experience was colored by the unavoidable challenges of a global pandemic, including altered instructional experiences, professional interactions, student relationships, and pedagogical options. Because candidates student teaching during the pandemic had such different experiences than their earlier counterparts, a traditional menu of learning opportunities and mentoring will likely be insufficient to meet their varied development requirements as new teachers. It will be critical to scrutinize the skills, knowledge base, and emotional perspectives of each early career educator and to create individualized development and support plans that build on the unique opportunities and challenges they will carry into their first teaching positions.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48338642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants were nine first-year early childhood teachers (teaching preschool to third grade) in a northeastern state of the United States. These teachers (ages 22–32 years, M= 28 years) were all females, consisting of five Hispanics, two Caucasians, one Black, and one Mexican. Except for one Caucasian teacher educating all Caucasian children from affluent backgrounds, the other eight teachers were teaching children from mostly ethnic/racial minority and low-income backgrounds. The data were collected from interviewing each teacher virtually via Zoom for 1.5 hours. A thematic analysis of the data was conducted. The findings revealed four salient themes: (1) theory-practice consonance, (2) theory-practice dissonance, (3) pedagogical challenges due to contextual constraints, and (4) pedagogical adaptability emanating from reflective practice. Collectively, the affordances and constraints engendered by the remote environment seemingly created both a fluid and a constricted space for the teachers to apply theory (e.g., developmentally appropriate practice) to practice.

In this study, we examined four preschool teachers’ reflections on their science teaching exhibited through a four-session science professional development (PD) experience. In the PD sessions, teachers reflected with a facilitator on video clips of their interactions with children as well as children’s interactions with science materials; and were provided additional resources that might enhance their reflection. In addition, we investigated change in teachers’ attitudes toward teaching young children science before and after the PD experiences. Findings: On average, teachers showed lower levels of reflections (i.e., Description, Justification). However, teachers provided significantly fewer Descriptions (level 1) and more Critiques (level 3) during the last reflection/PD session compared with the prior three sessions when examined more in depth. The teachers showed somewhat different patterns in their attitudes before and after the PD. Practice: PD and reflection sessions with a combination of resources and video reflections seem to help EC teachers enhance the capacity to deepen their reflections about their teaching practices.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43106758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the integrative approach, the ECE Standards are viewed as the foundation for educating all children with diverse social identities (i.e., ability, race, language, socioeconomic) and the EI/ECSE Standards as the expansion on the foundation specifically for children with differing abilities. A rationale is provided for integrating the standards and the process of integration is exemplified around three broad themes central to both sets of standards: inclusion and diversity, responsive and relevant practices, and building partnerships. Integrating the two professional standards will guide educator preparation programs for inclusion, provide clarity and unity around the knowledge and competencies of early childhood professionals across settings, and unify the workforce in ECE and EI/ECSE for the shared goal of promoting inclusion and equity. Our aim is for the audience to consider the integrative approach as a conceptual framework for building shared values, visions, and knowledge in ECE and EI/ECSE to promote inclusive, equitable early childhood learning opportunities and to unify educators around the shared equity agenda.","PeriodicalId":45981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46482015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
