EFFECTIVE TEACHERS IN ECE: SOME DETERMINANTS Presented By: PreetiMahalwal
Context • The RTE(2009) commits to free and compulsory elementary education for every child between 6 -14 years of age. • High dropout rates , particularly in Grade 1 and 2 • Vulnerability of children in the transition stage, from home/preschool to formal schools • Children with adequate school readiness skills and concepts have better chances of successfully transiting and adjusting to the formal schools • In this context, a longitudinal study entitled “Impact of Early learning, Socialization and School readiness experiences in preschool setting on educational and behavioral outcomes along the primary stage” is being carried out by CECED
Background of the study The present study is part of the larger Longitudinal Study which is looking at: • Trends in participation in ECE across public, private & NGO sectors. • Quality variations in ECE across sector. • Impact of quality variations on school readiness of children at age 5 years. • Longer term impact of school readiness in terms of primary level outcomes –both cognitive and personal-social.
Objectives • To study the trend of teacher disposition across various types of program. • To study the relationship between teacher related factors and teacher disposition. • To study the relationship between teacher disposition and quality of program.
HYPOTHESIS • There is a significant correlation between teacher related factors and teacher disposition. • There is a significant correlation between teacher disposition and quality domains of program.
Methodology • Mixed methodology • Observation - ECEQAS(Early Childhood Education Quality Assessment Scale) • Interview – Teacher Schedule • Field notes

Does nature and quality of training matter? • Recurrent training • Onsite support • Regular mentoring • Monitoring ** Correlation is significant at .01 level(2-tailed) * Correlation is significant at .05 level(2-tailed)
Relationship between Teacher disposition and domains of quality ** Correlation is significant at .01 level(2-tailed) * Correlation is significant at .05 level(2-tailed)
Concluding Findings • Known practices are faring better than other programs • Training has an influence on teacher disposition • Nature and quality of training matters • Teacher disposition has influence on quality of program
Limitations • Onlyfew aspects of teacher disposition are covered • Limited information on nature of training • Limited days of data collection
