Global Perspectives on Early Care and Education (ECE) Workforce Well-Being and Working Conditions
Sun, April 27, 1:30 to 3:00pm MDT (1:30 to 3:00pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 711Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Understanding and improving the well-being and working conditions of the ECE workforce (i.e., teachers, leaders, and other program staff) is a burgeoning field of interest globally. However, the field needs a comprehensive, holistic theory of ECE workforce well-being through which to organize the current literature on the associations between various factors and well-being outcomes and to consider global and local implications for policy and practice. The two goals of this symposium are to first advance a novel, holistic theory of early childhood workforce well-being and to use this theory to organize and examine several on-going studies through a comparative/international lens. Points of emerging consensus, core areas of future inquiry, and policy and practice implications will be discussed.
