In Texas, the CIRCLE Infant & Toddler Teacher Competencies were developed for infant and toddler teachers and caregivers in any type of child care and early education setting. The competency framework is intended to advance early childhood education by outlining the practices and behaviors that best promote child development. The competency framework has five competency domains: (1) language and communication, (2) early literacy, (3) cognitive skills, (4) social and emotional development, and (5) physical development. The infant-toddler competency framework has been integrated into trainings, professional development, and coaching support. Resources are disseminated throughout Texas and are free to programs, teachers, and caregivers. However, infant and toddler teachers and caregivers in the state are not required to participate in these activities. (author abstract)
