Exploring Jobs in the ECE Community
at the National/Federal Level
The National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations (NCPMI) provides support and training for stage and local programs in implementing early childhood multi-tiered systems of support to improve the social, emotional, and behavior outcomes for young children with or at risk for developmental disabilities or delays. The NCPMI focuses on reducing the use of inappropriate discipline practices, promoting family engagement, using data for decision-making, integrating early childhood and infant mental health consultation and fostering inclusion.
The PELE Center is devoted to improving the social, emotional, and cognitive outcomes for young children with special needs. The PELE researches child development, assists school in providing evidence-based practices in inclusive settings, work with local and state programs to adapt the Pyramid Model to expand high-quality inclusion and eliminate early childhood suspension and expulsion practices, and provide training opportunities for educators and families.
To be an Assistant Professor
of Early Childhood Special Education at a university, such as the University of Maine, would provide the ideal opportunity to prepare future early childhood educators that will be teaching young children with and without disabilities.
The above jobs offer amazing opportunities to be of service. To be able to positively impact the lives of young children with and without disabilities, their families, and the educators that teach them would be an amazing opportunity.

Unfortunately, these jobs require a doctorate in Early Childhood, Early Childhood Special Education, or a related field. Maybe some day... until then, I will continue to work with the school administrators, teachers, and service providers in my region to improve the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of the children with special needs that are served in inclusive classrooms and self-contained classrooms.
