Child Care and Early Education Research Connections

Epilogue

Description:
Although we have great respect for the scholars whose work and ideas appear in this book, we will use the pages that follow to take a closer look at some of their methods and conclusions. Our motive is not to savor the role of dreaded reviewers but to challenge assumptions about what features of child development we can realistically expect to change, by how much, and the types of intervention best suited to accomplish the task. Our roots are in both child development and social policy, and we want to take issue with some of the common wisdom emanating from the early intervention literature because common wisdom can lead to bad social policy. Our ultimate goal is to provoke scholarly debate that will inform effective policy and programmatic solutions. (author abstract)
