The focus of this study is preschool teachers’ perspectives on their experiences during a Pre-K expansion in New York City. The expansion brought on neoliberal approaches to curriculum, child assessment, quality improvement, and instructional support in classrooms, and these changes in turn heightened expectations for accountability. This has required new sets of skills and resources for early childhood educators to implement the policy as enactors. Using an implementation research framework and a multiple case study approach, this study examined 14 Pre-K teachers’ experiences during a policy enactment process and how the policy affected their practice and beliefs. In doing so, it became evident that teachers’ daily experiences, loaded with the added requirements to execute the recommended practices set by the shifting landscape of early childhood education, lead to confusions and struggles between their beliefs about appropriate practices. Our findings also shed light on the high needs for compliance and the commonly seen disparities in professional learning opportunities and compensation, all of which may significantly affect teachers’ daily lives and consequently, professional identity. Their insights show how they are seeking shared understandings between all stakeholders. This study examines the phenomena seen in classrooms during the Pre-K expansion in New York City and provides implications for policymakers for possible adjustments for the policy and implementation process.

学前班老师对通过纽约市普遍学前班政策变化影响他们的经历的因素的看法

这项研究的重点是学前班教师对纽约市Pre-K扩建期间的经历的看法。扩展带来了新自由主义的课程,孩子评估,质量改善和课堂教学支持的方法,这些变化反过来又提高了对问责制的期望。这要求幼儿教育者采用新的技能和资源,以便以制定者的身份执行该政策。本研究使用实施研究框架和多案例研究方法,研究了14名学前班教师在政策制定过程中的经验以及该政策如何影响其实践和信念。这样一来,很明显教师的日常经验,加载了更多的要求,以执行由幼儿教育的不断变化的格局确定的推荐做法,导致他们对适当做法的信念之间产生困惑和斗争。我们的研究结果还揭示了对合规性的高需求以及专业学习机会和报酬中常见的差异,所有这些都可能极大地影响教师的日常生活,进而影响专业身份。他们的见解表明他们如何寻求所有利益相关者之间的共识。这项研究调查了纽约市Pre-K扩建期间教室中看到的现象,并为政策制定者提供了可能对政策和实施过程进行调整的启示。导致他们对适当做法的信念之间产生混乱和斗争。我们的发现还揭示了对合规性的高需求以及专业学习机会和报酬中常见的差异,所有这些都可能极大地影响教师的日常生活,进而影响职业身份。他们的见解表明他们如何寻求所有利益相关者之间的共识。这项研究调查了纽约市Pre-K扩建期间教室中看到的现象,并为政策制定者提供了可能对政策和实施过程进行调整的启示。导致他们对适当做法的信念之间产生混乱和斗争。我们的研究结果还揭示了对合规性的高需求以及专业学习机会和报酬中常见的差异,所有这些都可能严重影响教师的日常生活,进而影响专业身份。他们的见解表明他们如何寻求所有利益相关者之间的共识。这项研究调查了纽约市Pre-K扩建期间教室中看到的现象,并为政策制定者提供了可能对政策和实施过程进行调整的启示。所有这些都可能极大地影响教师的日常生活,从而影响职业身份。他们的见解表明他们如何寻求所有利益相关者之间的共识。这项研究调查了纽约市Pre-K扩建期间教室中看到的现象,并为政策制定者提供了可能对政策和实施过程进行调整的启示。所有这些都可能极大地影响教师的日常生活,从而影响职业身份。他们的见解表明他们如何寻求所有利益相关者之间的共识。这项研究调查了纽约市Pre-K扩建期间教室中看到的现象,并为政策制定者提供了可能对政策和实施过程进行调整的启示。
