Issues regarding quality and early childhood professional where I live and work will be getting the proper education and state issued license. In the state of Mississippi the standards for Literacy: Reading-Language Arts/ Early and Middle Childhood the core mission of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is to create field specific standards for accomplished teaching that are in the Five Core Propositions and that articulate the actions that accomplished teachers employ to advance student learning. With the National Board Certification a teacher must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution, have a minimum of three years teaching experience and where it is required, hold a state teaching license.
My professional goal is to complete my master's degree in Early Childhood Education. Then some day become a director of an Early Childhood Center or Head Start.
Tomekia, I think that getting certified will get harder as new regulations change considering early childhood and education. The more emphasis put on teacher qualifications the harder it will be to become a certified teacher. This may have a big influence on many prospective teachers.
ReplyDeleteTomekia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I wish you the best of luck persuing your goals. However, I was wondering what new insights you learned from the UNESCO website?

Tomekia, As states make it harder for teachers to become certified, are you worried that the compensation in your state wont match your education? Many childcare directors do not make what they should? I would love to know what the average pay is for ECE professionals in your state.

Tomekia, I would like to work within the head start organization as well. I agree, the more emphasis put on teacher qualifications would help to attract the most motivated.
