Young children's daily interactions with teachers are critical to the development of their social, cognitive, and self-regulatory skills (Hamre, 2014). But not all young children have access to the types of interactions that matter -- interactions that are warm, supportive, cognitively engaging, and rich in core academic areas such as literacy, math, and science. One barrier to ensuring all children have access to great teaching is the lack of a clear and shared vision of good instruction across the early grades from pre-K to 3rd grade. Adopting a shared vision of the teaching and learning process across grades can help ensure that more classrooms are high quality. Including the following three major components for great teaching across the early years, this article shares how shared vision leads to quality: (1) Effective teacher-child interactions; (2) Content-focused instruction and learning opportunities; and (3) Individualized instruction.
