The Early Childhood Educator Perspective

# data[].attributes.body
As I have been listening and attending these statewide meetings I hear the urgency and concern of many who either are practitioners in the field or were at one point. We are worried that play, and opportunities for play will be lost for young children once TK is fully implemented at traditional elementary schools. With this comes a big push to focus on Developmentally Appropriate Practice (which always include culturally appropriate and individually appropriate practice). How can we reconcile what we know about early learners, especially emerging literacy which occurs during the early years with a system which is promoting the RICA? Much more may need to change to fully merge the worlds of ECE and K-12.

I would like to see California establish an apprenticeship program for this profession. This program would take the best of a residency experience, but adequately and progressively compensate the candidate. Furthermore, the program would support the candidate starting in high school, through college, and ending with a bachelors and credential or masters and credential.  For content, I would like to see a focus on early child development, play-based learning experiences, culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies, family connections, early literacy, math, science, and art, social emotional development, and multilingual language development.

2) Also, in SCUSD, the Early Ed department is planning on using the DRDP-R as a primary assessment, in connection with multiple other classroom environment/teacher assessments. DRDPrs in and of themselves are massively time consuming, and I'm wondering if there are plans for an assessment more specific to TK students that is less weighty on observation/photo collection but still measures student progress/learning.
