Early Childhood Governance

Responding to the increased national concern for early childhood education, this book examines what states are currently doing, what has proven effective, and what the existing body of knowledge offers educators, policymakers and others seeking successful approaches to governance. Featuring chapters by prominent, thoughtful scholars and practitioners, this is the first volume to specifically focus on early childhood governance. This seminal contribution is designed to be immediately germane to the burgeoning field of early childhood education. Readers will find the latest thinking, most recent experiences, and an honest review of the governance issues facing the field today and into the future—all in one resource.
