摘要

This multi-site case study examines the similarities and differences of the early childhood teacher education(ECTE)programs at a university in China and a university in the United States(U.S.)to develop a model for ECTE based on best practices in both countries.The two universities are partners in a student and faculty exchange program that aims to prepare highly effective teachers to lead high quality early childhood education(ECE)programs in the U.S.and China to address the increase in the global demand for public preschool programs to ensure that all children are academically and socially ready to be successful in elementary school.
