Electronic Discussion Lists Hosted by ECAP
ECAP hosts several electronic discussion groups (or lists) on the Internet. These groups operate on Listserv software on the University of Illinois's listserv computer.
ECAP has established the following policies that apply to each of its lists:
DIRCRED-L
This discussion list focuses on the work being done in states, communities,
and nationally to develop early childhood and school-age director credentials
and the various elements of director credentialing systems.
ECEMEN-L
ECEMEN-L is an open, unmoderated Listserv dicussion list intended for
any man or woman who would like to discuss the issue of men working in
the field of early childhood education.
ECENET-L
This discussion group is a forum for the consideration of issues related
to the development, education, and care of children from birth through
age 8. It is intended for teacher educators, researchers, policymakers,
teachers, students, and parents.
ECPOLICY-L
ECPOLICY-L is co-sponsored by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children and ECAP. Discussion centers on policy issues pertaining
to children and families, child care, preschool education, and related
concerns.
ECPROFDEV-L
ECPROFDEV-L will foster communication among those who teach pre-service
and in-service early childhood educators, train Head Start or other early
childhood program staff, and consult or facilitate learning with early
childhood professionals in any setting. Among other topics, discussion
will center on the varying philosophies in approaching the education and
training of diverse groups in early childhood education, the design of
learning activities, and new resources, assessment, and other issues related
to fostering learning.
MIDDLE-L
MIDDLE-L provides a place for sharing ideas, information about resources,
and problems and their solutions related to middle level education. It
is intended for middle level educators, teacher educators, and others
interested in education at the middle level.
PROJECTS-L
This discussion group focuses on the Project Approach, which is "an
in-depth study of a topic undertaken by a class, a group, or an individual
child," as the approach is used in early childhood, elementary, and
middle level classrooms. The list, co-owned by Sylvia Chard at the University
of Alberta and by ECAP, will be operational around the end of February,
1996.
REGGIO-L
Early childhood programs in Reggio Emilia, Italy, are internationally
acclaimed. This discussion group, co-sponsored by ECAP and the Merrill
Palmer Institute at Wayne State Univ., provides a forum for discussing
the Reggio Emilia approach to early education.
SAC-L
SAC-L is a discussion group for those interested in school-age care planning,
resources, funding, and related topics. SAC-L is co-owned by the National
Institute on Out-of-School Time at the Center for Research on Women (Wellesley
College) & ECAP.
