No Longer Welcome - The Epidemic of Expulsion from Early Childhood Education (Hardcover)

For over 15 years, researchers have described a crisis in our
nations' early learning classrooms. Hundreds of children are
expelled from childcare and preschool every day; a rate nearly
three times that of kindergarten-12th grade students. While
policymakers have taken steps to mitigate this crisis, disparities
in who is expelled persist. Boys and Black children are routinely
over-represented among those pushed out of the exact environments
that are supposed to help prepare them for school. Each child's
expulsion is symptomatic of a larger crisis-an overburdened,
underfunded, undervalued, and fragmented early education system. In
early childhood, expulsion is the result of a series of adult
decisions made within constrained contexts and at times blind to
downstream consequences: exhausted and underpaid teachers deciding
how to expend their limited attention and energy in a chaotic
classroom; administrators on razor-thin budgets deciding among
hiring additional personnel, providing high-quality training, or
investing in adequate classroom resources; fragmented state
agencies separately deciding on standards and policies and
allocating funds for early intervention and consultation services.
By examining these complex causes, No Longer Welcome starts a
critical conversation between and across sectors of the early
childhood field. Parents, teachers, preschool administrators,
researchers, and policymakers all have a role to play in ensuring
that all children can be retained in high-quality early care and
education settings. Drawing on her research and interviews with
teachers, program administrators, parents, and policymakers, Dr.
Zinsser presents the reader with a rich description of the myriad
of factors contributing to the expulsion crisis. She presents a
compelling argument for not only the importance of ending the
practice of excluding young children but also outlines roles that
each and every member of the field (from classroom aide to
legislator) must play in sustaining this change.
