Description:
As the field of early childhood education becomes more diverse and complex, early childhood systems, as a whole, have been slow to catch up. Early Childhood Governance: Choices and Consequences, edited by Sharon Lyn Kagan and Rebecca E. Gomez, brings together the latest research and discussion around governance and the issues that surround it. This seminal work issues a clarion call to those in early childhood to stand up and pay attention to governance within their field. Defining governance as "the processes and structures that are created to support and organize the work of governments, organizations, and groups" (p. 3), Kagan, Gomez, and their prominent contributors take on a subject that might scare the rest of us away, and write about it in a way that translates this intricate topic into a conversation between colleagues.
