- Abstract
Quality early childhood education requires excellent educators. Yet, the United States' complex and inconsistent early childhood "system" hinders this excellence. In 2017, thousands of diverse educators, advocates, and allies partnered with national organizations to form the Power to the Profession Initiative with the goal to establish professional unity and clarity. Over the course of 3 years, this initiative developed a comprehensive roadmap with and for the profession: the Unifying Framework for the Early Childhood Education Profession. In 2021, the Commission on Professional Excellence in Early Childhood Education was launched to oversee the implementation of this framework and to serve as a unified voice for the profession. Implementation progress will take time and perseverance to advance the needed systemic changes. But we've built a pathway and sustainable progress is happening across the country with each small and big step we take together.
