NAEYC is looking for feedback on its DRAFT Professional Standards and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators

First off, congrats to NAEYC’s new President, Boston’s own Amy O’Leary. I first met Amy when she came to speak to my early education policy class taught by John Lippitt at UMass Boston’s Post Masters In Early Education program. I’ve since run into Amy at dozens of ECE events. She is a tireless advocate for ECE and I am sure will make a great NAEYC president until 2021.
