25.068-5 - Broadening Perspectives and Fostering Responsive Approaches to Early Childhood Teacher Education and Professional Learning

Fri, April 28, 8:15 to 9:45am, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Ballroom Level, Hemisfair Ballroom 3

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

In an effort to make meaning of child-embeddedness, inclusion, and culturally responsiveness in early childhood teacher education, these papers wrestle with notions of identity, figured conceptions, and social, cultural and relational factors that have influence on teaching/learning. Researchers shed light on particular approaches adopted in teacher education and professional learning programs ranging from the use of market-based tech devices in early childhood, to drama-enhanced professional development, to teachers engaging with “funds of knowledge” to build stronger relationships with children and families.
