Summary: Early Childhood Research for Educational Equity argues for a framing of early childhood research that addresses the disparities that put children, birth to 8, at risk--i.e., approaches that lead to resilience and the generation and use of knowledge to achieve positive and sustainable change for systems serving children and families. This volume is designed to direct attention to the individual possibilities and intersecting dimensions of within-group, strengths-based, and population-based study in the education, child development, and related fields. This book draws on research within multiple fields to identify how effective approaches, new data technologies, and information regarding social and cultural contexts can enhance hope and resilience for young children and their families living in poverty. The volume argues for a critical and dynamic approach to conceptualizing research on young children and their families and on translating new knowledge into interventions that reflect the multiple dimensions of children's lives in and out of school and formal systems and the significance of families as clear assets to their children's development and well-being. |
