Descrição: An interview with Shantel E. Meek, a professor of practice and the founding director of the Children's Equity Project at Arizona State University about challenges facing early childhood education in the US and her career is presented. She said the first thing she'd point out is that they've created an extraordinarily splintered system, made up of both public and private childcare and preschool programs, Head Start and Early Head Start, special education preschool services, childcare vouchers and tax credits, and a variety of other local, state, and federal programs. She added that Head Start was explicitly created to disrupt intergenerational poverty, and several long-term studies of the program have shown that it has had some positive, sustained benefits in this area. But it's important to keep in mind that no early education program, Head Start included, can inoculate children against the effects of attending poorly funded, subpar schools later on.
