Voices of Practitioners
Voices of Practitioners disseminates early childhood teachers’ systematic study of an aspect of their own classroom practice. Teacher research offers a means for teachers to examine their questions about teaching and learning, reflect with colleagues, and make improvements in their teaching practice.
We invite you as an early childhood teacher, leader, or other early childhood education professional to consider becoming an author by publishing your teacher research with Voices of Practitioners. Our next collection of shorter story-focused articles will focus on building empathy and a sense of belonging in early childhood settings. For more details, read Call for Pedagogical Narratives from Early Childhood Educators: Building Empathy and a Sense of Belonging.
