The program for the
Working Forum for Teacher Educators in Auckland, New Zealand is taking shape. Lilian Katz, one of the world's foremost authorities on teacher education, will kick off the Forum with a presentation, "The Challenges and Dilemmas of Educating Early Childhood Teachers." This address will provide a sound basis for the scheduled "conversations" of the forum on ...
- Teacher education and advocacy
- Teacher education in multicultural contexts
- Teacher education and relationships
- Adult education strategies
- Teacher education and curriculum
- The role of technology in program delivery
- Future directions in teacher education
Presenters from Australia, Singapore, the United States, the West Indies, the Philippines, New Zealand, India, and Mexico will address these issues and all participants will engage in follow-up discussions. All the conversations of the Forum will be captured in a teacher education resource book that will be the outcome of this event.

Will this conference address attracting the best and the brightest to the field? How do we get quality candidates in the 'education door'?
-Educators must be self promoting in regards to the critical nature of high quality ECE.
-Society must value the education of young children.
-and please remember the limitation of education programs in 'developmentally delayed' states like mine, Arizona.
-And...it all is beginning...the recent articles on NPR about Play do make me hopeful about growing public awareness.
I am also concerned about NAEYC accreditation driving creative people from the field. It is causing great programs heavy stress and self doubt.
