Welcome to the second edition of The Early Childhood Professional, TC Press’ quarterly newsletter for the early childhood community.
This quarter brought exciting news: we were proud to announce the new author team who will develop the fourth edition of the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale® (ECERS®), the leading research-based instrument to assess comprehensive quality in early childhood programs for children ages 3 through 5. (You can meet the ECERS-4 team in an upcoming webinar).
Also in today’s letter, we: highlight books in early childhood STEM and STEAM, hear from leaders and experts on sustaining anti-bias leadership in ECE, offer goals to support infant/toddler educators, and more.
We want to hear from you! Reply to this email and let us know what resources you find most valuable.
