A new study from the Early Childhood Research Network<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a new study<\/a>, a research team from the\u00a0New York University Steinhardt<\/a>\u00a0School of Culture, Education, and Human Development partnered with the\u00a0NYC Public Schools<\/a>\u2019 Division of Early Childhood Education (DECE) to examine professional learning (PL) experiences of New York City (NYC) early childhood educators during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021).\u00a0Through surveys and one-on-one interviews, the research team gathered broad and deep information about \u201coutside-in\u201d and \u201cinside-out\u201d PL experiences<\/a>. \u201cOutside-in\u201d PL includes learning provided by external sources (e.g., group-based training series, individualized coaching), while \u201cinside-out\u201d PL describes support among colleagues (e.g., teacher-teacher interactions). Critically, the pandemic has exerted a significant impact on the nature of PL (e.g., the modality of PL shifted from in-person to virtual), calling for an urgent need to better understand early childhood educators\u2019 professional learning experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Continuing to invest in effective inside-out and outside-in professional learning strategies is a key way to support the educators caring for our city’s youngest learners.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
