While early childhood education is widely discussed, teachers’ own voices and expertise are rarely centered in these conversations. In response, the Louisiana Early Childhood Teacher Oral History Project (LECTOHP) was created to document, preserve, and amplify the lived experiences of early childhood teachers across the state.

As the Graduate Assistant for the Louisiana Early Childhood Teacher Oral History Project, my ongoing master’s program in counseling education informs how I approach this work. With coursework focused on listening, ethical responsibility, and understanding lived experience prepares me to engage thoughtfully with teachers as narrators. I am especially excited to build meaningful connections, collaborate with the team, contribute creative work, as well as help educators share their stories.

As an aspiring educator on the collegiate level, I immediately gravitated toward this research project. I am a huge advocate for learning whenever possible and being able to learn from teachers who want to share their stories is a huge honor for me. Knowing that I will have been a part of such an important effort with a team of like-minded individuals makes the experience so much more rewarding. I’m elated to have this project as a foundational element for my future in education!

What initially drew me to this project was its focus on education and the stories of educators. I’m especially interested in the opportunity to document and archive the many different types of teachers, as well as how teaching has evolved over time. I’m excited to speak with people who are actively working in the field and to ask questions that go beyond what I learn in my classes.
