Teaching Playful Learning: The New Early Childhood PK-3 Certificate

Unifying Framework and Professional Preparation

TEA launched a new certificate for EC teachers in 2021. Many Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) offer this new certificate. One university doubled its course offerings, other EPPs innovate their teacher preparation program in different ways. This panel presentation outlines how some EPPs initiate a new curriculum for EC teacher preparation.
