NAECTE Newsletter Winter 20162016 NAECTE Summer Conference (Continued)In London, in early 2004, she met families of Asylum Seekers from 68countries who, with the collaborations of the Refugee Council, privatefoundations and committed teachers, had created one of the mostdynamic and exciting elementary schools in the absolute poorestneighborhood in London. And currently, on an on-going basis, in NewYork City, she and her students work with families from Chinatown toBrooklyn to Queens to the Bronx—Latino, Syrian, Palestinian,Pakistani, Orthodox Russian Jewish, and Central American families.Quintero’s Critical literacy in Early Childhood Education book connectslearning, teaching, and integrated curriculum. The book reports on aqualitative study involving various groups of teacher educationstudents and practicing teachers in urban schools in New York City.Dr. Elizabeth QuinteroThe teachers support students’ multiple languages and recognize waysthat multiple knowledge sources, identities, and language forms cancontribute to the formation of new relationships, new knowledge, andmeanings. As a community of scholars in a wide variety of classrooms,these teachers respect the children’s backgrounds, plan carefully for their current experiences in school, andprepare them for the future challenges of standardized testing, competitive learning programs, and a variety offuture journeys. Quintero’s latest book is Storying: A Path to Our Future-Artful Thinking, Learning,Teaching andResearch. This book is about the human experience of teaching and learning, creativity and community. Storyingexplores how story is so much more than decoding text and writing using academic language. It also includesliterature and all forms of the arts; digital forms of story, from social media to documentation of history; andnew forms of multilayered, multigenre research. We can learn a lot from Dr. Quintro!The morning’s focus also includes round table and poster sessions where our NAECTE colleagues present ontopics that are important to our work, research and thinking.

NAECTE Newsletter Winter 2016News from our NAECTE President, Kelly BakerAs winter turns toward spring, I always anticipate the promise of fresh, newlife and the growth that is to come. This seasonal transition seems anappropriate metaphor for our association, as the NAECTE governing boardcontinues to pursue a progressive approach to the work which is of mostimportance to our membership. I expect that as we continue to reflect onour existing policies and association activities, our collective efforts willresult in fresh approaches to our work. Additionally, I am hopeful that we willcontinue to experience stability in our membership, with steady growth overtime. Why? Because what we do is quite significant in the landscape of earlychildhood teacher education. For this reason, I am most appreciative of theopportunity to serve as your President.Our November conference was both positive and enlightening for me. Thoseof you who attended will likely agree with me that it was an outstanding dayNAECTE President, Kelly Bakerof intellectually stimulating activities, thanks to the careful planning of AmyWolf, then Vice-President for Conferences. The keynote, roundtable andposter sessions were outstanding! I left our conference day with a greatfeeling of pride in the research and scholarly activity which continues to take place among our members.While attending the conference, I also had opportunity to meet with representatives from NAEYC and ACCESS. WillParnell and Becky Huss-Keeler joined me in meeting with ACCESS leadership, and I also met with Marica Mitchell,Deputy Executive Director, Early Learning Systems for NAEYC, and Mary Harrill, Senior Director, Higher EducationAccreditation and Program Support for NAEYC. The connections that we maintain with other Early ChildhoodEducation leaders clearly strengthens our ability to have a positive impact in ECE teacher preparation; I believe that bothof those meetings were quite productive. In fact, Mary Harrill is facilitating a NAEYC Accreditation Expansion WorkingGroup, and requested that NAECTE have a delegate or two as part of that group. This is a great example of theimportance of our collaboration with other professional associations, and I am delighted that Julie Ray has agreed toserve as our delegate to the working group.As you’ll remember, our full membership was encouraged to participate in a Needs Assessment, in order to determinehow we might move forward as an association. As a governing board, we’ve had lengthy conversations regarding the bestway for NAECTE to have a greater impact on policies related to our field. The results of the needs assessment, createdand facilitated under the leadership of Past President, Libby Ethridge, have already suggested potential changes for thefuture. Our Database Administrator, Lori Kelly, has analyzed and interpreted much of the data so that we have apreliminary picture of the findings; however, Lori is in the process of finalizing that analysis, in order that the governingboard can make decisions based on the complete set of survey data. If you plan to attend our June, PDI, in Baltimore,Maryland, you’ll be among the first to hear of the complete survey results, as well as some of the potential responses tothat data.And finally, I’m pleased to share the news that NAECTE is moving toward an updated website. In the very near future,you’ll find that our online presence will be more inviting, easier to navigate, and much more visually appealing. I’mconfident that the improved website will better meet our needs, and will be a resource of which we can all be proud.Respectfully submitted,Kelly BakerNAECTE President3
