How can we create high-quality learning environments for children
from socially, politically, and economically marginalized groups?
How do early childhood programs help to overcome the challenges
created by poverty? Seeking to answer these questions, The Starting
Line delves into the ups and downs of early education programs
serving Latinas/os in Texas, using the state as a window into
broader debates about academic opportunity and the changing
demographics of the United States. Immersing readers in the
day-to-day activities of Texas's early childhood education
programs, Robert Crosnoe illuminates how significant obstacles can
stymie the best intentions. Crosnoe pays particular attention to
the complex connections among classrooms, schools, families, and
communities, as well as the frequently unfolding interplay of
educational philosophies. The result is a story highlighting the
promises of early childhood education, the perils faced in
attempting to fulfill them, and the degree to which Texas stands at
the forefront of some larger movements and lags behind in others.
Giving voice to bilingual educators and low-income Latina/o
families, this book is a timely exploration of the strengths and
needs of what will soon be the largest share of the US child
population.
