Hopes and Dilemmas: The Future of Equity in Early Childhood Education (Exchange Press)

By Valora Washington, Elizabeth Spisich, Cathy Grace, Lee Johnson III and Demetria Joyce

The next generation of early childhood education leaders will likely continue the field’s legacy efforts to achieve its common goal of access, affordability, and quality for all young children and their families. As they build on the legacy, emerging leaders will also need to create a new consensus about how to best serve young children in a nation facing complex equity dilemmas.
