Stephanie, the Texas Early childhood Education Coalition (TECEC) has 4 key areas: public policy, research, public awareness and community organizing. This program also focuse on the preparation for children to have success with education and in life. This seems to be a valuable resource for children and family in the state of Texas.
ReplyDeleteHey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your resources. I really like the one you shared on Inclusion for students with severe disabilities. My first Masters degree is in the area of special education and I found this article to be especially interesting and insightful.
Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about Texas' Early childhood system. Looks like they may be where many other states are trying to get in building their systems. I would love to get your opinion on this journey for your state and areas that have been, or continue to be challenging.
