Abstract | Today, the importance of early care and education (ECE) to children's lifelong learning and to our nation's economic well being is recognized up to the highest levels of government, and in businesses, schools, and living rooms across the country. This understanding represents a dramatic shift from earlier decades, and carries with it heightened expectations for what teachers of young children should know and be able to do, in light of mounting evidence about inadequate and unequal educational quality, particularly for children of color and those living in low-income families. In recent years, Nebraska, like many states, has committed public and private resources toward multiple efforts to improve educational services and to ensure that teacher education degree and certification programs can better prepare their graduates to meet the complex needs of young children of all ages. There still remains a demand for more than 7,000 new early childhood professionals to provide quality care and education to Nebraska's most at-risk children. This report highlights findings from the "Early Childhood Higher Education Inventory", and the extent to which Nebraska ECE higher education programs offer course content and learning experiences that are associated with effective teacher preparation.
