T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® – Across The Country

Picture
In1990, Child Care Services Association of Chapel Hill, North Carolina created the Teacher Education and Compensation Helps (T.E.A.C.H.) Early Childhood Project to address the issues of under education, poor compensation and high turnover within the early childhood workforce.  This project has expanded and is now available in over 20 states, including Nebraska.  All T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® scholarships link continuing education with increased compensation and require that recipients and their sponsoring child care programs share in the cost.

The T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® National Center was established in 2000 in response to the growth and expansion of the T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Scholarship Initiative and to ensure the development, integrity and expansion of the T.E.A.C.H. Initiative and other integrated education and compensation initiatives. To learn more about the T.E.A.C.H. Initiative, visit www.teachecnationalcenter.org.

T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Alliance
The T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Alliance is a membership association created in response to the voices of T.E.A.C.H. scholarship recipients nationally. The Alliance serves much like an alumni association designed specifically for current and past T.E.A.C.H. scholarship recipients, as well as those that support the T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Initiative. It provides a way to connect, grow and develop a national T.E.A.C.H. network to provide opportunities for leadership, advocacy and professional and personal development.
