Vision & Goals

The early childhood video library was developed to promote greater understanding of early childhood classroom practices that teachers and leaders in the early childhood years can use to build their knowledge and skills that will foster improvements in classroom settings. This video library will also develop the capacity of teachers and leaders to work collaboratively using professional conversations to guide the teacher evaluation planning and reflection processes.
