ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
Early childhood educators play a significant role in attending to the whole child by nurturing, caring, educating, and molding the young minds in their care. To be effective educators, early childhood educators must be well-rounded with the knowledge to attend to the children with utmost care and consideration. Early childhood teachers must be ready to prepare young children accordingly, preparing them academically while introducing a curriculum rich in values based on social justice. Teachers attend educational institutions that provide preservice teacher training programs to prepare for this critical work. This study occurred to determine what influences and limits the new early childhood educators qualified to be early childhood teachers according to the California Community Care Licensing Title 22 regulations to implement a social justice antibias curriculum in their classrooms. The findings of this study showed that teachers received inadequate preservice preparation to implement a social justice antibias curriculum in their classrooms. The California Community Care Licensing Title 22 regulations require teachers to complete only 4 college classes (12 early childhood units). It is essential to examine the minimum state qualifications. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
