Preschool Educators

Since I am a first grade teacher I have a lot of appreciation for the preschool teacher. As I was looking for articles about reading I came across this one that discusses many issues surrounding the preschool educator. It is a long article but is basically stating that preschool educators do need to hold a BA degree from a program that was well developed to meet the needs of preschool teachers. I'm going to keep looking for my 'reading' article but I just thought this was interesting. This site actually had a lot of titles that looked like good reading, some of them were from the late 90's so I know that we are trying to find more recent info but still could be good reading.

  1. Great article. I apologize for not reading it sooner. It explains how much I've forgotten about the changes and advancements in our responsibility as elementary teachers to equip every child the gift of reading and written language.
    It explains how important a strong connection between our elem. schools and our local college education departments should be headed.
