Critical Perspectives on Early Childhood Education (Frontiers in Education)

This book explores key policy issues related to early childhood education. Through the contributions of various professionals in the field, the editors provide a vision, practical and possible, of early childhood education in the 1990s. Part I delves into the complex world, both personal and professional, of the classroom teacher. The essays in Part II look at issues of the school community, including the roles of class, race, gender, and exceptionality. Finally, Part III examines the relationship between schools and the community-at-large, and how complex issues find their way into social and economic policies that often stifle, rather than support, the democratic vision of American schools. Taken as a whole, the volume presents a stimulating discussion of the current state of early childhood education policy and practice.

<p>Kelly, a leading scholar in the field of gender in education, was Professor of Education and Chairperson of the Department of Education, Organization, and Policy at State University of New York, Buffalo when she died in January of 1991. This collection of her writings provides a historical overview of her pioneering strategy to make gender issues prominent among educators. Presenting two original and 12 reprinted essays, the volume begins with Kelly's efforts as a student radical in the 1970s to establish feminist agendas and concludes with her harsh critiques of the current national reform movement and a proposal for a study that takes into account women's life experiences to create change in American inner city schools. In the years between, Kelly's essays demonstrate how viewing women's education like men's blinds the scholar to the real issue of educating both genders. Kelly questions new conservative theories that reject feminist concepts and presents world-wide statistics on women's education. A name and subject index are included as well as a bibliography.</p>
