4.9/5 (20864 ratings)

Description:Learn how exemplary countries are advancing the development of their youngest citizens. Drawing on a groundbreaking study by Sharon Lynn Kagan and her colleagues, The Early Advantage 2 extracts the essential elements from six high-performing systems to determine what must be considered when creating and implementing programs and policies for young children and their families. Challenging conventional thinking, the text offers scores of concrete examples, as well as multiple strategies, considerations, and approaches useful to leaders worldwide. Readers will find that this vibrant, thoughtful volume honors local traditions, histories, and contexts as it extracts compelling approaches to advancing early childhood systems. Use this volume, along with The Early Advantage 1 , for a complete insider’s guide to changing how we think about and enact innovative services and policies for young children. Book The Early Advantage was funded and supported by the National Center on Education and the Economy’s Center on International Education Benchmarking as part of NCEE’s research into the 9 Building Blocks for a World-Class Education System . “With notable depth and breadth, this book pushes the thinking on the quality of early childhood systems and reflects on what it takes to build systems that are equitable, efficient, and sustainable. It is a timely reflection for policy makers in Latin America, the Caribbean, and elsewhere.”— M. Caridad Araujo , principal economist in the Social Protection and Health division, Inter-American Development Bank" The Early Advantage provides a treasure chest of tested policies for improving early care and education from around the globe. Even more invaluable, each is placed within a coherent structure to guide analysis of tradeoffs and complementarities, how well new proposals will work, and what else is needed to support their success."—W. Steven Barnett , Board of Governors Professor and director of the National Institute for Early Education Research, Rutgers University"Sharon Lynn Kagan, a giant of international early childhood education, has produced yet another must-read for early childhood professionals around the world. The volume takes a much-needed systems perspective to scale up quality early childhood services for all children. A brilliant piece of work!"— Pia Rebello Britto, chief and senior advisor, Early Childhood Development, UNICEF“Framing their learnings from multiple countries into a skillfully designed set of inputs and outputs, the authors have provided a systems perspective to effective early childhood programs. This is a must-read for those engaged in city-, state-, and countrywide work of building programs that work for young children.” — Jacqueline Jones, president and CEO, Foundation for Child Development"This is an invaluable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners around the world committed to improving the lives of young children. The book offers a rich conceptualization of systemic problems and an equally compelling analysis of the need for a social strategy that promotes national and international efforts. The authors give readers a way of understanding the intersections among research, policy, and practice in creating agendas of change; highlight on-the-ground possibilities; and promote the translation of knowledge into action to enhance the education and development of young children and the diverse contexts that provide them with care.”—Vivian Gadsden , William T. Carter Professor of Child Development and Education at University of Pennsylvania and director of the National Center on Fathers and Families“What I love most about this book is that it goes far beyond the issues of whether and why—straight into the heart of how. Although this volume is based on years of rigorous multinational research, it doesn’t read like a statement of what was or is as much as it reads like a testament to what can and should be, a road map for the leaders and peoples of any country or governmental jurisdiction interested in ensuring its own future by focusing on the futures of its youngest citizens. Sincere gratitude to Professor Kagan and her colleagues for mapping the early childhood social strategy path forward!”— Walter Gilliam, professor of child psychiatry and psychology, Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy, Yale University"The strategies employed to strengthen the pillars of these high-performing systems have relevance far beyond the six countries that are The Early Advantage ’s focus. I was struck by the value and relevance of the book’sinsights for low- and middle-income countries—countries that, although lacking the study countries’ material resources, are eager for innovative approaches that can be adapted to their contexts.
