This timely collection provides an accessible discussion and
analysis of some of the most urgent policy issues facing early
childhood care and education in the United States: fragmented
policy systems; broad disregard for early years professionals
exemplified by low pay; standards that fail to increase equity; and
overlooking the role community contexts plays in producing or
ameliorating social inequalities among children. Contributors draw
upon their deep personal experiences with these issues as
educators, scholars, and advocates to advance practice-based
recommendations for how the nation's inequitable systems can be
transformed. Their call to collective action is supported by an
accessible and powerful advocacy toolkit that will grow with
readers over time and with practice. The text centers the
perspectives of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color, with
a clear focus on the effects of systemic racism, ageism, sexism,
classism, and associated oppressions on early years policies and
programs in the U.S. Book Features: Concise essays that acknowledge
the demands on contemporary readers' time. Authors that represent a
cross section of educators, advocates, researchers, and leaders who
are in dialogue with each other. Personal stories that illustrate
how policies and systems affect people, making an urgent case for
transforming early care and education policies. A call for action
that includes tools for linking personal reflection to collective
action.
