Title: Preservice teachers, caring communities, and parent partnerships: Challenges and possibilities for early childhood teacher education
Author: Goldstein, Lisa S.
Appeared in: Journal of early childhood teacher education
Paging: Volume 24 (2003) nr. 1 pages 61-71
Year: 2003
Contents: The creation of caring classroom communities and a heightened focus on the central importance of partnerships between teachers and parents are two significant features of the revised guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices [Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs, revised ed., National Association for the Education of Young Children, Washington, DC]. This article reports findings from a study of preservice primary grade teachers' understandings of caring in which participants developed negative, adversarial beliefs about parents during their initial field placement period. The findings in this study indicate that in order to prepare preservice teachers to meet our expectations for high quality early childhood teaching practices, we must create teacher education programs and coursework specifically aimed at developing commitments to caring community and to parent partnership.
