This Educator Voices report examines the working conditions that impact educator practice and well-being in center-based programs in Flagler and Volusia Counties, Florida. The study documents the experiences of early educators since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and is the first to look at the relationship between educators' future plans and supports in their work environment. This executive summary shares the key findings and recommendations from the study. Main findings include: (1) Educators noted persistent staffing challenges; teaching staff who felt supported in their work environment were more likely to want to stay at their current center; (2) Teaching staff reported having insufficient training for working with children with challenging behaviors and those who are dual language learners; close to two thirds reported having children who speak another language in their classroom; and (3) The hourly median wage in Flagler and Volusia Counties was $13.75 for teaching staff and $19.81 for program leaders. Many early educators struggled to afford housing, health care, sufficient food, and other basic necessities for themselves and their families, and a majority of early educators relied on at least one form of public support. [This study and report were supported by the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia Counties (ELCFV).] |
