I'm listening to @kqed Forum from yesterday, about the teacher shortage and #rural #California, so all over California, to be fair. One of the points someone brings up is that we have all these TK roles to fill, too, that require certified teachers. But I thought that grade for years, with it early #childhood #education degree. At Sac State, they told us that for younger grades, maybe three and under, #ECE is better than other majors for getting a credential at all, but why do you need a credential for 4-year-olds? Hell, even #kindergarten shouldn't be so #academic.

🎢 What a rollercoaster of a year in #ECE, amirite?!

WOW. I suppose this is no surprise. Private equity has no place in #ECE. It must be a public good, like K-12 schooling, but with robust options including family child care and strong family leave policies. Our babies, toddlers, and preschoolers deserve better. https://twitter.com/ehaspel/status/1603727755010781184

We might be able to discover a better path for human ingenuity if we actually could spend time—enabled by unencumbered resources—discovering what optimizes experiences for young humans and those who tend to them. #society #humanbeings #earlychildhood #secondwomb #socialinvestment #transformation #ece #education #homosapiens #earlylearning

growth? If we think of how dedicated we become as parents from conception to the age when children walk and start talking, could we imagine our community dedicating resources and making commitments to lead and care for all children until they reach the age for common school. It could alter how human beings care for ecosystems that keep life on this planet. #earlylearning #earlychildhood #commongood #transformation #homosapiens #ece #education #socialinvestment #children #humanbeings

Could we ever evolve a view of children and childhood before age 6 or 7 as an essential subsequent, equally nourishing, social womb for optimizing these first years of human growth?

Hey #ECE researchers - we wrote a handy resource for measuring ECE Access with the NSECE - the largest and most comprehensive study of child care supply & (potential) demand in the country. We hope it helps! https://www.acf.hhs.gov/opre/report/measuring-access-early-care-and-education-ece-2019-nsece

#Introduction I'm a professor in speech language pathology and an #SLP who studies child language development and disorders. My work sits at the intersection of #Intervention #ImplementationScience #CognitiveScience #DevelopmentalPsychology and #Syntax.

Professionally I'm interested in things related to #ClimateJustice #Disability #ECE #SpeechLanguagePathology #OpenScience & #DEI. Personally I'd add #Scouting #Geocaching #WaterColor & #Reading including the BookRiot #ReadHarder challenge.
