Discursive Constructions of Early Childhood Education Teachers: Defiance, Commonalities, and Mismatches
Sun, April 10, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Exhibit Hall D Section CSession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
These paper authors challenge us to reconsider normative neo-liberal discourses in early childhood settings. Instead, through protagonists' voices, they offer distinctive vistas: Presenters take to task notions of professional identity, of parents and educators as central stakeholders and of practices such as documentation as defiance.
