Shifting Landscapes in Early Childhood Teacher Education: (Re)connecting, (Re)defining, (Re)designing, and Troubling
Tue, April 12, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level Three, Ballroom ASession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
In an ever changing, dynamic and global landscape, early childhood teacher education is a space of contention, while at the same time cultivates transformative possibilities. To address such tensions and potentials, scholars in this roundtable grapple with (re)connecting educators and children to the earth, (re)defining the ‘good teacher’ in the wake of regulatory performance assessments, (re) designing United States teacher education programs, and critically troubling/rethinking teacher preparation.
