I chose National Association for Early Childhood Teachers Educators so that I can learn how to promote and support teacher research and in stressing the importance of research on children.

The National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators (NAECTE) in conjunction with the Editorial Board of the Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education (JECTE) invites applications for the next editor of The Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education. The appointment will be for a period of four years with the possibility of subsequent renewals. It is anticipated that the new editor will begin assuming editorship responsibilities immediately after the NAECTE Governing Board approves the appointment in June 2012. Individuals or teams can apply in configurations that include a single editor, an editor with an associate editor, or co-editors.

FOUNDATION AWARDS

One of the goals of the NAECTE Foundation is to promote and support research projects related to early childhood teacher education.  Through NAECTE conferences and publications, many NAECTE members have developed their capacities as researchers.
