In a clear and compelling pointcounterpoint format, this book gives current and future decisionmakers multifaceted perspectives on critical questions: Should preK be targeted or universal? What kind of teacher preparation should be required, in terms of credentials and education? When should preK services be provided and for how long? Where should preK be providedin public schools only or in other early childhood programs? What should the primary focus of instruction be academics or the whole child? Should preK be structured around direct instruction or learning through play? How can we ensure quality and accountability in preK programs?Readers will also get a helpful synthesis of the major themes of the preK debate, investigate lessons learned from model programs in two states (New Jersey and Oklahoma), and identify key issues for future research and debate, including education policies for English language learners and children with special needs.Whether used as a reference or a preservice text, this landmark book will prepare early childhood administrators, policy makers, and researchers to make informed decisions about the future of preK so all young children will have the best chance at school success.
