Description
Effective Early Childhood Professional Development Improving Teacher Practice and Child Outcomes by Carollee Howes, Bridget K. Hamre, Robert C. Pianta This authoritative research volume provides the latest findings on best professional development practices for early childhood education programs. It offers practical insights into field-tested models that have improved both teacher practice and child outcomes. The book features contributions from two dozen respected experts, including Robert Pianta's effective MyTeachingPartner framework. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how to scale up successful efforts across an entire district or state, and explore positive teacher attributes that PD efforts should target, such as increased self-regulation skills and reduced cognitive overload. The book also examines the policy implications of professional development interventions and provides success strategies for implementing effective programs. With its focus on advancing teacher quality and improving outcomes for young children, this book is an essential resource for early childhood administrators, policy makers, and researchers.
