The Non-Tested Years: Policy's Impact on Early Childhood Curriculum
Gallo-Fox, Jennifer; Cuccuini-Harmon, Cara M.
Educational Forum, v82 n4 p475-490 2018
Early childhood and elementary education emerged from a variety of knowledge and research bases. Tensions emerged as they were brought together in a unified public kindergarten through 12th-grade educational system. This review describes how standards and accountability policies have exacerbated tensions between early childhood and elementary curriculum and instructional approaches and impacted the voice and role of early childhood educators. We argue that this is a critical time for understanding and addressing these issues.
