Instructor: Dr. Rudia Kihura & Rose Ludeman-ECC

Early childhood educators have long struggled with the public’s viewpoint of their profession as a career. As a result, there is an extreme lack of professionalism in the field. If outside stakeholders don’t hold the career in high regard, it can be very difficult to convince ECE teachers to do so. Dr. Rudia Kihura from BHSU and Rose Ludeman from Early Childhood Connections will discuss how early childhood educators can take back their power by owning their career and advocating that their community, state, and nation value them for their worth.
