Mandates to implement practices that are antithetical to what we
embrace as supportive of young children's literacy learning are
pervasive. Teachers of young children are asked to teach-to-the
test in ways that take away opportunities for holistic, thoughtful,
play-oriented practices that allow children to construct knowledge
through contextualized and purposeful experiences. In 2009 the
Early Childhood Assembly was formed by a group of early childhood
educators to provide a home at the National Council for Teacher of
English for all who work with young children. Perspectives and
Provocations in Early Childhood Education is a publication of the
ECEA. The publication is intended to support teachers of young
children and those interested in studying about early literacy by
putting on offer texts with a strong emphasis on promoting
thoughtful practices that enhance the teaching and learning of
young children within and across diverse communities. All royalties
from the book go to the ECEA to help the organization advance its
goals of providing scholarships for early childhood teachers to
participate in conferences and professional development events.
