Teacher Well-Being in Early Childhood: A Resource for Early Care and Education Professionals. Early Childhood Education Series
Angela C. Baum; Kerrie L. Schnake
Teachers College Press
A teacher's well-being has a powerful impact on their work with children, families, and colleagues, and can influence the overall quality of the program in which they are employed. With a specific focus on the unique factors related to the field of early childhood care and education, this book discusses the concept of well-being and how it applies specifically to teachers of young children. The authors provide a rationale and guidance for integrating teacher well-being content into both preservice and inservice professional learning environments. This comprehensive resource also explores the implications of, and connections between, teacher well-being, equity, and social justice. The authors share examples of well-being programs that have been implemented throughout the United States and examine the policy and practice efforts that are necessary to embed well-being culture into early care and education programs. This book features: (1) an orientation to teacher well-being for the field of early care and education that includes definitions, rationales, impacts, examples, strategies, and recommendations; (2) research-based and practical so readers not only understand the importance of teacher well-being but also come away with specific ideas for application and implementation; (3) accessible language and user-friendly format that includes graphics and callout boxes to extend readers' understanding of the content and provide opportunities for self-reflection; and (4) support for a wide range of stakeholders, including professionals in childcare, preschool, and private and public school programs.
