NAEYC Standards for Professional Development Programs

The new NAEYC Standards for Professional Development Programs is now posted on the NAEYC web site. http://www.naeyc.org/positionstatements/ppp

The standards are used across degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to graduate programs. They are used in higher education accreditation systems, in state policy development, and in program improvement planning.  A summary of significant changes from the 2003 standards, along with an implementation timeline for NCATE and ECADA accreditation, is included. 

NAEYC will hold an invitational meeting at the fall conference for those who have questions about how the new standards will be implemented in NCATE accreditation work.

Arizona Immigration Law protest letter sent to:

Letter to the Editor

 

 The National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators held it’s semi-annual meeting at the Sheraton hotel in Phoenix last week only because there was no time to change the site after the new Arizona immigration law was announced.  Our association will not meet in Arizona again as long as this discriminatory policy is in place.

 

As college professors preparing teachers for early childhood education, our members support a climate of trust and safety for all children and their families. We are appalled at the racial and ethnic profiling inherent in Arizona’s immigration law and consider it irresponsible.

PURPOSE OF THE NAECTE FOUNDATION

The NAECTE Foundation is a 501(c) tax-exempt organization that raises funds for the benefit of early childhood teacher educators and the children and communities they serve.  The goals of the NAECTE Foundation are:

  • Advocacy of NAECTE goals;
  • Promotion and support of research projects related to Early Childhood Teacher Education; and
  • Provision of scholarships for early childhood teacher education students.

FOUNDATION AWARDS

One of the goals of the NAECTE Foundation is to promote and support research projects related to early childhood teacher education.  Through NAECTE conferences and publications, many NAECTE members have developed their capacities as researchers.

The Foundation is accepting proposals for research on early childhood teacher education. Application deadline for these awards is June 1. To view application procedures and scoring rubric, click here.

HISTORY OF THE NAECTE FOUNDATION

After much discussion among former NAECTE presidents, the NAECTE Foundation was formed in 1998. Four former presidents Doris Bergen, Doris P. Fromberg, Sara W. Lundsteen, and Janet B. Taylor signed the Articles of Incorporation. Working together, the group of past presidents then began the work of collecting donations in order to implement the goals of the Foundation. To view the Bylaws of the NAECTE Foundation, click here.
