Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Sharon E. Rosenkoetter Papers document Rosenkoetter's research in early childhood development, especially transition planning between settings for children with special needs and leadership development to promote quality services across early childhood agencies and disciplines. The materials consist primarily of completed surveys, course materials, summarized survey data, reference materials, reports, and documentation compiled for the Oregon State University Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB materials include correspondence, blank survey forms, status reports, project outlines, and blank consent forms. Four projects are represented in the collection: Early Childhood Leadership Directions; Rural Links: An Approach to Collaborative Teacher Recruitment, Preparation, and Placement; National Early Childhood Transition Center (NECTC); and Story Quest.

The course materials are for HDFS 410, a practicum class for student involved in the Rural Links project. Three photographs depict Rosenkoetter with the students participating in the Rural Links project. Spanish versions of the NECTC project surveys are part of the collection.
