The goal of this edited volume is to share ideas and examples of impactful practices useful for teacher educators in Early Childhood Education degree programs (associate, bachelor, and graduate level) as well as teacher educators in other settings. Impactful practice is defined as course or assignment design, pedagogy, or innovation in teaching, instruction, or assessment that has been found to be transformative for the individuals participating in that learning. This book intends to provide the reader with multiple examples of effective and innovative practices when teaching preservice or inservice teachers. Chapters will describe in-class activities and program level initiatives on a variety of important topics. The chapters are written by expert practitioners who have successfully implemented these practices. Chapters contain resources, sample assignments, syllabi, and student work.
