连接中美早期儿童教育的桥梁

Bridging Early Childhood Education in China and the United States

本项目为学⽣提供专业与实践相结合的国际化早期教育课程体系，引导和⿎励早幼教国际化创新与实践。本项目为中英文（双语）项目，对中文学习者友好，为希望能够学习到国际先进早期儿童教育理论及方法的幼教园长、专业早教人士及对子女教育有较高期望的家庭成员提供更加广阔的国际视野以及深造学习机会。使学生获得同行业最新资讯及资源；对话世界著名早期儿童教育专家，探访不同国家及地区典型早幼教机构，以及更多在中美或国际间工作机会。

全世界所面临的教育危机中有很大一部分都源自于儿童在幼年时期未能接受适宜的早期教育、护理和学龄前教育。当前全球儿童早期教育正在蓬勃发展中，为响应需求，各国的高校和教育团体正在增加投资，促进知识和创新，以支持扩大早期教育计划。世界银行正在资助50个早期教育项目，总金额超过10亿美元。目前，发展高质量的早期教育受到几方面因素的阻碍：缺乏熟练的专业教师、适合年龄的课程和完善的质量保证机制。针对这些现实情况，提供优质的早期儿童教育，提供适宜儿童发展的课程，提高教师的专业性培养，成为全球早教发展的重要策略。

美国戈登学院（Gordon College）教育学硕士（早期儿童教育方向）响应新时代对早教迫切需求的倡导，旨在为国际早期教育培养高水平的职业教师和专家，更有效地帮助和支持儿童的学习。

本硕士项目根据美国早期儿童教育协会的核心标准，设立30个学分的课程，为0-8岁早期教育教师和其他幼儿教育专业人士提供独特的学习机会，以提高他们在包容性幼儿教育环境中的课程、教学和评估方面的知识和技能。

This program offers a professional and practical international early childhood curriculum that guides and promotes international innovation and practice in early childhood education. This program is bilingual and Chinese-friendly, and provides a broader international perspective and opportunities for early childhood educators, professionals, and family members with high expectations for their children's education who wish to learn about the latest theories and methods in early childhood education.

This program provides students with access to the latest information and resources in the field, dialogues with world-renowned early childhood experts, visits to typical early childhood organizations and programs in different countries and regions, as well as opportunities to work internationally.

Much of the world's education crisis stems from the lack of adequate early childhood education and care in children's early years. Early childhood education is developing globally and dynamically. In response to demand, universities and communities are increasing investment, knowledge and innovation to support the expansion of early learning programs. The World Bank is funding 50 early childhood education projects totaling more than $1 billion.

Currently, the development of high-quality early education is hampered by several factors: a lack of qualified professional teachers, age-appropriate curricula, and well-established quality assurance mechanisms. In response to these realities, providing quality early childhood education programs, offering developmentally appropriate curricula, and improving the professional development of teachers have become important strategies for the development of early childhood education around the world.

The Master of Education, Education of Young Children (bilingual) program from Gordon College (USA) responds to the advocacy of the urgent need for early childhood education in the new era, and aims to cultivate high-level professional teachers and specialists for international early childhood education, and to help and support children's learning more effectively. This program provides the unique learning opportunities developed through the National Association for Educating Young Children's core learning standards. It includes 30 semester hours of courses for birth through the third-grade teachers and other early childhood professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in curriculum, teaching, and assessment in the inclusive early childhood education settings.
