Upon clicking on researchnet on the naecte website, it was interesting to read about the purpose of the establishment, and what the program offers. This program facilitates scholarly pursuits on collaborative research projects that relate to topics of early childhood teacher education. It provides a focus for conducting research studies, and outlet for dissemination of research results and professional development opportunities for NAECTE. The ResearchNets meet during the fall and/or the spring conferences to organize, plan research projects, and share research results. They also continue to network through email, listservs, conference calls, and on the NAECTE website.
I also read a journal article entitled, Call for Papers that discusses the importance of inclusion and how teachers need to be sure to include each child by access, participation, and supports. That itself adds to my understanding of equity and excellence. Additional information to add to my learning would include professional development that promotes inclusive practices.

It is important that teachers include each child through participation and supports. We are a key component to equity in early education, I have learned this week through my reading and research.
ReplyDeleteI agree inclusion is important having issues at the moment with a child who is nonverbal and still trying to potty train we are in the process of trying to get him accessed I really wish I had help from someone who is better educated in special needs to help educate me on how to better serve him.
