Book Talk with Marcy Whitebook, PhD
Please note: This event takes place at the Center for Worker Education, 25 Broadway, 7th floor.
Marcy Whitebook is the founder and director of the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment at the University of California. Berkeley. Her research focuses on issues of employment in settings for young children with specific attention to its relationship to children’s development and learning, as well as appropriate and accessible professional preparation for the early childhood workforce. Prior to her current work, Dr. Whitebook was the founding executive director of the Washington-based Center for the Child Care Workforce (CCW), an organization she began in 1977 as the Child Care Employee Project. Dr. Whitebook has led several large-scale early childhood research projects, including the landmark 1989 National Child Care Staffing Study, which first brought public attention to the low wages and high turnover of child care teachers and their impact on child outcomes. Currently, she is the principal investigator for “No Single Ingredient: The Complexity of Early Childhood Teacher Preparation,” a longitudinal study examining efforts to expand bachelor’s degree opportunities in early care and education for working adults, and the necessary education and work environments that support changes in teaching practices over time.
