How to do early childhood education right. . . and why we tend to do it so wrong. This book is for both private-sector and public-school early-childhood teachers, administrators, and policy-makers. The suggestions range from those teachers can implement immediately to the broader steps they will need to take  to totally transform their environments so children joyously engage in learning tailored to their individual needs, interests, and abilities. Here is a chance to learn how to become the teacher you hoped you could be. College- and career-readiness start here. You ARE the first responders!
