Using the EI/ECSE Personnel Preparation Standards to develop and revise EI/ECSE teacher preparation programs

Description:

The purpose of this article is to describe how the EI/ECSE Standards can be used to support educator preparation program development and revision. Figure 1 provides an overview of the process that will be described, with the three steps used to frame our discussion: (a) examining existing courses, (b) developing new courses, and (c) planning and sequencing field experiences. For each step, we discuss how to identify or create meaningful content, learning activities, and assessments. Although we primarily address program development, this process can be adapted for program revision, such as when state licensure requirements change or personnel preparation standards are updated. Throughout, we emphasize the importance of collaboration, praxis (critical reflection followed by action), and the pursuit of equity. (author abstract)
