"And what feeds me? It's work to that end. Work to spark a new conversation about what we need to achieve our vision in the 21st century - a vision that includes well-educated, well-valued, well-respected teachers of young children who are role models for young people seeking meaningful careers. And what feeds me is encouraging a new wave of leaders and activists that our field - and our country - so sorely need." - Dr. Marcy Whitebook
"Regardless of
the history of IQ tests in the family, if I see nurturing, warm, interactive
people who read emotional signals well and interact well, usually I see happy,
competent and bright children." - Dr. Stanley Greenspan

“It was the most
joyful experience where I felt that everything within me was being called on to
teach. It was also very
rewarding. It made me feel whole.” Louise Derman-Sparks talking about her
first job in early education.
“My passion
comes from wanting to make a difference.
I truly believe that I am not here to save the world. I am here to just make a difference in
the community that I am working. To
me, making a difference may sometimes mean helping one child be able to be
successful in the classroom.”
Raymond Hernandez, MS Ed
