Nebraska AEYC is proud to partner with the University of Nebraska (NU), and institutions of higher education (IHEs) and states/territories/tribal nations, to implement innovative programs to prepare early childhood educators, break down systemic barriers to education for people of color, and increase financial assistance and compensation for students studying to be early educators.
Along with its project partners, NU is working to transform Nebraska’s higher education system through a statewide strategic initiative to develop a Responsive Equitable System for Preparing Early Childhood Teachers (RESPECT). The RESPECT project is designed to catalyze systemic change and fundamentally shift the culture of early childhood educator preparation in Nebraska to be more equitable and inclusive. |
