The CAYL Institute

Description:

We have seen the headlines and have experienced firsthand that the early childhood teacher workforce shortage is real and troubling. This shortage is often attributed to multiple challenges: poor compensation, subpar working conditions, and suboptimal occupational status relative to other educators and professions. 

As we boldly discuss taking Moonshots for Early Childhood Education, we have to ask – What would ideal ECE employment look like? What would it take to make every ECE job a GOOD job?

Join us as we discuss the ECE Good Jobs Challenge with our panel of distinguished leaders:

-Marcy Whitebook, Ph.D. – Director Emerita, Center for the Study of Child Care Employment – Institute for Research on Labor and Employment – University of California, Berkeley
