Description:
Even with attempts to increase the racial and cultural diversity of teacher candidates and in-service teachers, there is still a lack of Asian American current and future early childhood educators at this time. As programs meet to discuss current student enrollment numbers, syllabi revisions, or changes related to state certification and licensing requirements, they should consider reviewing the population demographics of program completers. We have shared our stories of why we chose to pursue careers in early childhood education along with recommendations that teacher preparation programs can use to recruit Asian American candidates.
