About Voices of Practitioners

Bookmark and Share

NAEYC is pleased to offer the online publication Voices of Practitioners: Teacher Research in Early Childhood Education. Its main purpose is to provide a vehicle for publishing the research of early childhood teachers, who are often underrepresented as authors in the educational research arena. This publication includes informative articles, resources, and tools to promote the participation of early childhood teachers in teacher research.

In teacher research, teachers engage in the systematic study of their own practice. Deeply involved in the daily lives of children and their families, teachers provide a critical insider perspective through publishing their investigations and reflections on life in their classrooms.

Voices of Practitioners includes a section for teacher educators. This section highlights innovative strategies for teacher educators interested in incorporating teacher research into their teacher education programs and/or supporting teacher research in early education centers and schools.Manuscript Guidelines for details on submitting teacher research and to the teacher educator section.)

Teacher research is important to the early childhood profession. Teachers grow more competent when they examine their questions about teaching and learning, reflect with colleagues, and make improvements in their teaching practice. Their research benefits the early childhood field by contributing to the knowledge base on how young children develop and learn and by providing insight into the role of the teacher.
