Sharing Teachers' Voices on Children's Spirituality

Click here for slides.

I presented at the 2023 SCRC, with my graduate student, Shahin Hossain, on the qualitative analysis we have been working on from the data collected on 318 educators’ responses to Q7 from the ECE-SPC instrument, which asks, “What do you understand children’s spirituality to be?”. This study seeks to answer the research question, “How do in-service early childhood educators understand children’s spirituality?”. We are advancing the knowledge base on this fascinating line of inquiry by examining a national sample from 36 U.S. states, targeting educators from secular educational settings.
