NEEDED Daycare teachers working in Washington DC For a Study

Washington DC

Description

I am an Ed.D. education doctoral candidate with a concentration in early childhood education candidate at Walden University. For my dissertation, I am conducting a study that explores the perspectives of the Infant/Toddler-Pk4 teachers from the District of Columbia who are working in a center-based setting on the challenges of attaining an early childhood associate degree as mandated by OSSE and, second to explore perspectives in the kind of support teachers need throughout the process. In the study, I will conduct phone interviews with Infant/Toddler-Pk4 teachers. I am in the process of recruiting Infant/Toddler-Pk4 teachers who meet the following criteria: (a) must be working in WASHINGTON, D.C. with young children in any classroom categorized as the infant classroom, the toddler classroom, the Pk3, or Pk4 classroom (b) Participants must -be pursuing an associate degree in early childhood education from a post-secondary accredited institution or -planning to return to school to pursue an associate degree in early childhood education (c) the participants must be Infant/Toddler-Pk4 teachers who have a minimum of 3 years of experience working with young children. The one-on-one phone interviews will last between 45-60 minutes. All responses will be handled in a confidential manner. Walden University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) has approved my study. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated, as it will enhance this qualitative research study. PARTICIPANTS WILL NOT BE COMPENSATED.
