Abstract

Higher education early childhood teacher preparation programs in the United States are guided by the National Association for the Education of Young Children Standards for Initial and Advanced Early Childhood Professional Preparation Programs (NAEYC, 2010). With technology infused throughout the standards, teacher preparation programs are confronted with the challenge of priming preservice teachers to be technologically literate educators ready to cultivate engaging curriculum for 21st century learners. It is essential for early childhood educators to bring together components from developmentally appropriate practice, multiple intelligence theory, and emergent digital literacy to form an effective curriculum plan. This chapter offers details of a teacher preparation program that utilizes a multisensory learning approach to prepare early childhood preservice teachers who are capable of infusing technology into developmentally appropriate curriculum planning.
