Exploring the Potential of State-level Consolidated Governance for Bringing Coherence to Early Childhood Education Systems The purpose of this research is to explore the decisions states make about the form and function of governance, the ways governance has impacted the Early Childhood Education (ECE) system, and opportunities and limits of governance for bringing coherence to the complex and fragmented ECE system. Of the states that have consolidated governance for ECE, this study focuses on three: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Delaware. The research is being conducted using a phased approach to data collection and analysis. Each research question, designed to test the hypotheses regarding the importance of governance to improving the field of ECE, is addressed in each phase of data collection. This study can, by exploring the form and function of state-level governance, help bring much-needed definitional clarity to a term and a concept that has been defined as many things over the past decade. It can also articulate the potential benefits accorded to a state ECE system via governance, as well as make explicit the limits of governance on system development. |
