Popis: | Program quality in ECCE must be rigorously and routinely evaluated in order to ensure positive outcomes for all children. The inclusion of teachers and other internal stakeholders in program quality assessment, while critical, can bring up sensitivities. However, self-reflection is required for any meaningful improvement. In this article, the authors demonstrate the applicability of the Global Guidelines Assessment (GGA) as a tool for promoting self-reflection and analysis among preservice teachers in the United States and inservice teachers in Parma, Italy. These case studies demonstrate viability of the GGA, both in diverse contexts and in pursuit of diverse objectives. |
