The Office of Head Start has prioritized holistic quality education services for children and communities in greatest need. First, since 1965, the federal government has funded, regulated, and publicly aided over 38 million children through Head Start programming, including AIAN and Migrant programs (Administration for Children and Families, n.d.). In 2019, over $10 billion was budgeted for the program, resulting in 1,047,000 low-income children and their families receiving services (Office of Head Start, 2022a). In addition, the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation has funded research to improve quality and child outcomes, with research recommendations that significantly guide state and local early childhood policy (Kooragayala, 2019). The Office of Head Start noted programming should be shaped based on research that meets Head Start’s definition of “principles of scientific research” necessary to be considered for policy (Head Start Act, 2007, Sec 637). Lastly, updated in 2023, the multicultural principles have served as a resource to improve programming and service delivery for children and families. Unlike the Head Start performance standards, the multicultural principles are not attached to funding or performance reviews. Still, they are instead considered best practices for the programs. These principles do not do enough to support Indigenous pedagogy outside of tribal reservations (Administration for Children and Families, 2010). The Office of Head Start can recognize the potential and necessity for Indigenization in Head Start by amplifying the voices of Indigenous teachers already weaving and making their way into classrooms. The disconnect between research, policy, and the lived experiences of Indigenous teachers can only be bridged through meaningful collaboration and acknowledgment of the unique ways of knowing and teaching that Indigenous educators bring to Head Start spaces. Through Survivance, Indigenous teachers continue to reclaim what colonization has attempted to erase. The journey toward Indigenization and Survivance must be guided by an understanding of Indigenous practices’ holistic and sacred nature, creating spaces honoring diversity and defying the limitations of a Eurocentric education system.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Daniela Fernandes Lopes Dornelas.pdf: 1193324 bytes, checksum: 04f92bb6718a57bfc6ffcf2a7775b04c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-18 / This research discusses pedagogical practices in Early Childhood Education and analyzes the concepts and practices of teachers of children from zero to three years of age on the development of oral language. Therefore, the research problem reflects on how the development of oral language is understood by teachers of Early Childhood Education who work with children from zero to three years. Considering the importance of the relationship between language and thought in the development of concepts in children, we identified the relevance of studying the development of oral language in children from zero to three years in the perception of teachers. For this research, two schools of Early Childhood Education were selected, one public and another private, in the city of Indaiatuba. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teachers, one from each school, and also systematic observations of their classes. The research is based on the theory of human development in the historicalcultural perspective of Vigotski and historical-critical pedagogy, supporting the education of young children based on an educational work that aims to bring students to the systematized knowledge produced by mankind in a historical, cultural and scientific way. After analyzing the interviews with the teachers and observation records of their classes, we identified the following categories of analysis: Beyond the expansion of vocabularies; Once upon a time there was the language and the thought...; Play and talk, just get started!; What?s said, done and the effect. We could verify that the practices of the teachers could contribute more to the development of oral language, if there were adequate working conditions, as well as an academic formation that provided a theoretical and practical base directed to the phase with which they act. Thus, the contributions of this research aim to deepen the studies in the area of Early Childhood teacher education, highlighting the importance of intentional teaching related to the development of oral language, especially those who work with children from zero to three years, and also reinforcing the need for an academic formation that meets the specifics of teaching for this age group. / Esta pesquisa trata do desenvolvimento da linguagem oral de crian?as de zero a tr?s anos de idade na Educa??o Infantil, cujo objetivo central situa-se em conhecer concep??es e pr?ticas de professoras relativas ao desenvolvimento da linguagem oral. Assim, o problema da pesquisa visa analisar como o desenvolvimento da linguagem oral ? compreendido por professoras da Educa??o Infantil que atuam com crian?as de zero a tr?s anos. Considerando a import?ncia da rela??o entre a linguagem e o pensamento no desenvolvimento dos conceitos nas crian?as, reiterada de forma consistente na literatura cient?fica sobre o tema, identificamos a relev?ncia de se estudar sobre o desenvolvimento da linguagem oral em crian?as de zero a tr?s anos na percep??o de professoras. O campo de pesquisa foi composto por duas escolas de Educa??o Infantil, uma p?blica e outra particular, do munic?pio de Indaiatuba. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com as professoras, uma de cada escola, e observa??es sistem?ticas de suas aulas. A an?lise do material emp?rico apoia-se na Teoria hist?ricocultural de Vigotski e na pedagogia hist?rico-cr?tica, ao sustentar a educa??o das crian?as pequenas com base em um trabalho educativo que visa aproximar os alunos do conhecimento sistematizado produzido de maneira hist?rica, cultural e cient?fica pela humanidade. Ap?s a an?lise das entrevistas com as professoras e dos registros de observa??o de suas aulas, identificamos as seguintes categorias de an?lise: Para al?m da amplia??o do repert?rio; Era uma vez a linguagem e o pensamento...; Brincar e conversar, ? s? come?ar!; O dito, o feito e o efeito. Pudemos verificar que as pr?ticas das professoras poderiam contribuir mais para o desenvolvimento da linguagem oral, considerando essa pr?tica como um elemento mediador que envolve significados e sentidos, tornando-se assim um ato de pensamento, caso houvesse condi??es de trabalho adequadas, assim como uma forma??o inicial que proporcionasse um embasamento te?rico e pr?tico direcionado para a fase com a qual atuam. As contribui??es deste trabalho visam aprofundar os estudos na ?rea de forma??o de professores de Educa??o Infantil, destacando a import?ncia da a??o pedag?gica intencional no que se refere ao desenvolvimento da linguagem oral, em especial, os que atuam com crian?as de zero a tr?s anos, al?m de refor?ar a necessidade de uma forma??o inicial que atenda as especificidades da doc?ncia para esta faixa et?ria.

Collaborative models of teacher education have grown from the belief that through such models we can improve the quality and availability of truly inclusive opportunities for children with diverse abilities and their families. Little is known however as to the extent collaborative models are capable of influencing inclusive service delivery or in terms of their efficacy to impact the relative inclusive practice of their graduates as compared to other models of teacher education. As an important first step toward examining the relative worth and efficacy of collaborative models of early childhood teacher education, this case study applied a conceptual framework derived from activity systems theory (Engeström, 1987; 1999) and the recommended research framework for investigation into collaborative models (Pugach & Blanton, 2009) to consider one such teacher education program as a system. Doing so offers the literature a description of one program's parameters of practice and efforts to produce effective, inclusive teachers and leaders through a collaborative approach; something that was previously lacking in the literature base. Working to understand how this teacher education program operates as a system helped characterize the parameters of practice specific to collaborative program dimensions. Elements of harmony and tension as well as cultural tools specific to the program's attempts to meet its object and ultimate outcome per activity theory were also identified. Finally, case study analysis of this particular program through the conceptual framework provided insight related to current and future efforts of collaborative early childhood teacher education and broader teacher education reform
