Title: Qualité en maternelles 4 ans et en CPE : Une comparaison.
Holder of a B.A. in elementary and preschool education, as well as an M.A. in language teaching, Maude Roy-Vallières is a student researcher interested in educational quality in Quebec’s preschool services. Her years of study have led her to occupy several positions at the academic and professional level, such as research assistant, project coordinator and teacher. She supports her student colleagues in her position of financial affairs manager at AÉCSÉd-UQAM. She also participates in supporting preschool education teachers by creating teaching materials.
In this talk, Maude covers her doctoral project’s progress, which focuses on comparing educational quality assessment in Quebec’s maternelles 4 ans and CPE. Drawing on an ecosystemic approach of quality in educational contexts, this presentation will expose the need for quality practices and assessment in early childhood education and explain the added value of a comparative approach for improving current preschool services.
