| Abstract | "This powerful edited collection disrupts the deficit-oriented discourses that currently frame the field of early childhood education (ECE) and illuminates avenues for critique and opportunities for change. Researchers from across the globe offer their insight and expertise in examining issues central to ECE, especially with "at risk" populations, covering such issues as poverty, language, developmental psychology, teaching, and learning. The chapters propose practical responses to the manufactured crisis of risk, gaps, and deficits, and advocate for democratic practices and policies that enable ECE programs to build on the wealth of cultural and personal knowledge children and families bring to the early learning process. Moving beyond a dependence on deficits, this book offers opportunities for scholars, researchers, and students to consider their practices in early education and develop their understanding of what it means to be an educator who seeks to support the growth and development of all children"-- Provided by publisher. |
