The quality and quantity of early childhood care and education services have risen as a key reform area for influencing educational and economic outcomes.

Institutes of Higher Education (IHE) are divided into colleges and within colleges are departments. Most departments work with their faculty members and have little interaction with others outside their specialty area.

The department had been working in silos, with no common mission or …

The focus of my reflection and evaluation is on principles of effective teaching practice, experiential learning, reflective practice, and collaboration implemented throughout the course. Finally, I reflect upon successes and …
