- TECTA Times
The TECTA Times newsletter is currently published three times a year. It serves as a widely available resource for all TECTA stakeholders, including partners, providers, and higher education faculty. Newsletter articles contain discussions of current developments in the early childhood field as well as the academic arena. Articles may also share information about the status of TECTA projects and staff development resources.
The purpose of the newsletter is to disseminate important information and facilitate interaction between child care professionals, and to provide a forum to share ideas, research, and insights about the latest questions and issues inside and outside the early childhood academic classrooms.
