Early Childhood Trends and Initiatives
New research in the early childhood education field continually highlights practices that more effectively support children's learning. In this "Early Childhood Trends and Initiatives" cluster, articles focus on current research, policy, and practice, and the relationships and connections between these three segments of the profession. Topics include the collection and application of classroom data, use of technology to enhance learning, intentional teaching practices, tailoring programs to fit a particular cultural group, the status of state-funded pre-K programs, and an analysis of teaching practices for preschoolers. NAEYC members can read this entire issue of Young Children online in the Members Only area. |
