Infant Toddler Care and Education: Speaking Up for Young Children and Their Caregivers
Get PDFMuch of the policy-and practice-focused research on infant-toddler care and education has been concerned with the issue of program quality. That is, what elements constitute a quality program for infants and toddlers that ensures their ongoing developmental success? Researchers have sought to identify the structural and process indicators necessary for young children to receive the kinds of responsive interactions that contribute to positive developmental outcomes
Exploring Learning Differences: A Social Emotional Curriculum for Second Grade
Get PDFExploring Learning Differences is a four-week social emotional learning curriculum designed for second grade students by Sophie Paci. The purpose of the curriculum is to encourage students to reflect on themselves as learners and to promote awareness about different learning needs in a community. Students explore this theme through class discussions, interactive read-alouds, group activities, art projects, and independent writing. As a literature-based curriculum, each lesson utilizes a children’s book to engage students in dialogue about learning differences. The literature collection features eight “core books” that are used in interactive read-alouds and ten supporting books students can read independently. The first half of this thesis includes my curriculum rationale, a description of second graders’ cognitive and emotional development, a children’s literature review, and an outline of the curriculum. The second half of this thesis details the eight lessons that compose the curriculum, followed by a reflective conclusion about the process of writing the curriculum

Curiosity Over Kindness: Discovering the Importance of Student Assets
Get PDFThis research explores the argument that it is important to know students well through understanding the assets students bring with them to school. I aim to explore the kinds of assets students bring with them to their experiences at school, why it is important for teachers to get to know and make use of students’ assets, and the methods teachers can use to get to know student assets. Undergirding this exploration of the importance of student assets in school is the through line that the racial, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds of both teacher and student deeply impact the ways that student assets are understood and valued, or misunderstood and devalued. In order to take on the work of understanding and making use of student assets, teachers must commit to ongoing self reflection and work regarding their own identity and how it impacts their work with, and understanding of their students. Recommendations for teacher training and ongoing professional development are shared
Building Bridges to Overcome Widening Gaps: Challenges in Addressing the Need for Professional Preparation of Infant-Toddler Practitioners in Higher Education
Get PDFAs the professional qualifications for those working with infants, toddlers, and their families continue to expand, institutes of higher education (IHEs) play an increasingly vital role in training the infant/toddler workforce. However, IHEs face numerous programming and pedagogical issues that make meeting the needs of these professionals difficult. These issues are further complicated by persistent challenges within early care and education. In this paper, we examine these issues in detail and discuss the Collaborative for Understanding the Pedagogy of Infant/toddler Development (CUPID), a cross-institution partnership working to enhance the quality of infant/toddler professional preparation in higher education
