CALL FOR PAPERS!
Early Childhood Education, a peer-reviewed journal published by the ECEC of the ATA. At a time when there are many pressures on teachers, and fewer supports or consultants in early childhood education, we believe that it is important that trained early childhood professionals articulate clear visions of appropriate educational practices for young children. We need to lead the field rather than be pressured to engage in practices that are contrary to our professional beliefs and values. Writing for the Journal can help provide this leadership. We truly need your voices.
The deadline for submission for the 2025 issue of the ECE journal is January 15, 2025.
There is an opportunity for release time paid by the council for members interested in completing an article for the journal.
