On October 14, 2011, UM-Dearborn was host to the fall meeting of the Michigan Early Childhood Education Teacher Educators. This group is a state affiliate group of the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators NAECTE.
Approximately 35 teacher educators from across Michigan the state discussed how teacher preparation programs are working to meet new standards for early childhood teacher education that emphasize preparing teachers to work with children with special needs. A highlight of the meeting was a tour of UM-Dearborn’s Early Childhood Education Center and Oakwood Health System’s Center for Exceptional Families, which provided a glimpse of excellent facilities and first-class collaboration underway between these two organizations.
