Early Childhood Teacher Education on Cultural Competence discusses how early childhood preservice teachers can use teacher research to explore and gain cultural competence, enabling them to support students and families from diverse backgrounds. The book opens by describing the role of the university in preparing culturally competent teachers in urban settings and then explores historical perspectives of cultural competence. Chapters then move toward more practical perspectives of supporting families from racially diverse backgrounds, understanding diverse families, interprofessional education and collaboration, teacher resiliency, and social justice. Although the chapters focus on cultural competence in urban settings, they offer all early childhood teacher educators a challenge to address cultural competence in all settings.
The National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Education Foundation raises funds for the benefit of early childhood teacher educators and the children and communities they serve. Established in 1998, the Foundation focuses on supporting early childhood teacher educators as they engage in advocacy, research, and practice. The National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators is directly affiliated with NAECTEF. It promotes the professional growth of its membership by providing opportunities to publish in the Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, attend and present at annual conferences, write resolutions and position papers related to issues in early childhood teacher education, and disseminate research. It also advocates for improvements in early childhood teacher education, provides scholarships for students of this field, and supports related research projects.
