“Supporting every child’s potential starts with improving teacher training and paying early educators what they’re really worth. Colorado educators who work with children ages 0-4 make an average of $26,875 a year — far below the state’s per-capita income of about $41,000.”
As the state prepares for a new Department of Early Childhood and implementation of universal pre-K, Cathrine Floyd of the Trust for Learning and Deborah Leong of Tools of the Mind encourage leaders to invest in programming that aligns with the Principles of Ideal Learning.
