Abstract | Many early childhood educators feel they must implement programs that conflict with their understanding of best practice. Some teachers are saddened and some even decide to leave schools in which administrators are not open to dialogue, challenge, and reflection. But there is hope in taking action. This article is about action and activism because it is time for teachers and supporters of public education to respond when imposed curriculum and high-stakes testing (when a test score alone is used to make an important education decision about a child, like being promoted to the next grade) do not reflect what educators know about development, learning, and teaching. The author advocates activists to act in partnership with others and discusses ways to do so. (ERIC). |
