    New Voices Supporting Early Care and Education

    New Voices Supporting Early Care and Education

    On what specific data do these voices, new to the field of early childhood, anchor their arguments? What are some of their main arguments for supporting young children and families? In what ways do they articulate their support? What is the essence of their suggestions? This assignment is an opportunity to investigate these questions.

    In preparation for the Discussion,

    • Review all required resources, including the media segment and the U.S. Department of Education website
    • For each resource, evaluate which main arguments are presented in favor of care and education policies for the early years.
    • Choose one written resource that stimulates your professional curiosity more than the others, and that you want to analyze further.
