Hi my name is Audrey


 * I don’t know if I’m doing this right, I’m very confused*

1. Education/ United States Education Stubs / American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. I choose this stub because my major is Early Childhood Development and I wanted to see what was being said about the United States Education

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_education_stubs American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education

2.I know it is a stub because at the bottom of the page it says that is a stub and says that I can expand it.

3. I compared this stub to American College of Education article. Some missing or under-developed parts of this stub would be the history. There is no history to tell a little bit about the stub. The stub does not talk about any accreditation or degree programs. The stub does not

4. Yes, "National Leaders in Teacher Preparation and Certification Meet in Chicago to Discuss Today's Most Influential Education Initiatives" is listed but the hyper link does not work.

Teaching Certification[edit]
Teachers seeking to be early childhood educators must obtain certification among other requirements. "An early childhood education certification denotes that a teacher has met a set of standards that shows they understand the best ways to educate young students aged 3 to 8." There are early childhood education programs across the United States that have a certification that is pre-K to grade 4. There are also programs now that have a duel certification in pre-K to grade 4 and special education from pre-K to grade 8. Other certifications are urban tracks in pre-k to grade 4 that have an emphasis on urban schools and preparing teachers to teach in those school environments. These tracks typically take 4 years to complete and in the end provide students with their certifications to teach in schools. These tracks give students in the field experience in multiple different types of classrooms as they learn how to become teachers. An example of a school that has these tracks is Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Early childhood educators must have knowledge in the developmental changes during early childhood and the subjects being taught in an early childhood classroom. These subjects include language arts and reading, mathematics, and some social studies and science. Early childhood educators must also be able to manage classroom behavior. Positive reinforcement is one popular method for managing behavior in young children. Teacher certification laws vary by state in the United States. In Connecticut, for example, these requirements include a bachelor's degree, 36 hours of special education courses, passing scores on the Praxis II Examination and Connecticut Foundations of Reading Test and a criminal history background check.

For State of Early Childhood Education Bornfreund, 2011; Kauerz, 2010 says that the teacher education and certification requirements does not manifest the research about how to best support development and learning for children that are in kindergarten through third grade. States are requiring educators who work in open pre-kindergarten to have specific preparing in Early Childhood Education. As per the State of Pre-School Yearbook (Barnett et al., 2015), 45 states require their educators to have a specialization in Early Childhood Education and 30 states require no less than a Bachelor's qualification. As indicated by NAEYC state profiles (NAEYC,2014), just 14 states require kindergarten instructors to be confirmed in early youth; in the rest of the states, kindergarten educators might be authorized in basic training. Less states require ECE affirmation for first grade educators (Fields and Mitchell, 2007)
