Searching for Insights: The Diverse Nature of Pre-K Policy and Practice
Mon, April 11, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 143 ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium takes a broad look at varied ways in which pre-K policy is currently informed and enacted – from how research influences policy, to how local actors take up and make policies “fit” in local communities. Envisioning policy as something that is informed by multiple stakeholders and through varied networks (political, community action, and media, to name a few), we pose this symposium as a means of better understanding the diverse nature of pre-K policy, and how we might all approach understanding the growing influence of policy-making in the early learning experiences of young children.
