Did you know that the Proposed Rule Revisions for Educator Preparation and Accountability (REPA) cannot be amended without your comments? As it now stands under the current proposal, there would be no early childhood licensure, which we believe will be detrimental to the quality of care and education that young children will receive. Please review REPA as posted on the Indiana Department of Education's website, then respectfully encourage the Professionals Standards Board to take these actions:
Establish licensure in Early Childhood Education specific to children from birth to age 8; and
Establish an early childhood special education (interdisciplinary) license specific to children from birth to age 8
Establish licensure in Early Childhood Education specific to children from birth to age 8; and
Establish an early childhood special education (interdisciplinary) license specific to children from birth to age 8
