In this session, students from Cohort I & II of Project PIECE: Promoting Inclusion in Early Childhood Educators, reflect on their first years at WOU. Project PIECE, a federally funded OSEP grant project, recruits and supports non-traditional students who have at least their associate’s degree, so they can complete their Bachelor’s and Teaching Authorization in Inclusion Early Childhood Education, and obtain a Teaching Endorsement in EI/ECSE at the graduate level.
