For more than fifty years, the Frank Porter Graham Child
Development Institute has conducted groundbreaking research that
revolutionized the field of early childhood care and education.
Based on presentations made at FPG's 50th anniversary symposium,
this essential reference looks back on the Institute's trailblazing
history, analyzes contemporary issues in child development, and
recommends critical new research directions. More than a dozen
high-profile contributors thoroughly examine the three themes of
the anniversary symposium: early care and education, diversity, and
children with disabilities and their families. Readers will learn
from in-depth chapters on: *understanding the social, cultural,
educational, and political forces that affect children's outcomes
*meeting the challenge of serving diverse populations as U.S.
demographics shift *preparing practitioners to work with young dual
language learners *improving connections between the knowledge base
and professional practice *strengthening the early childhood
workforce through effective professional development *analyzing
decades of research and policy and examining ways to support
continuous improvement A celebration of progress and a compelling
call to action for the next generation of professionals, this
important volume is a must for researchers, policy makers, and
faculty. Whether used as a textbook or a reference, this book will
help shape the future of the early childhood field-and improve
outcomes for tomorrow's young children and families.
