Focus on Ethics |
|
 Focus on Ethics, coedited by Stephanie Feeney and Nancy Freeman, is a column appearing in Young Children that features two kinds of alternating articles. The first presents dilemmas that early childhood educators encounter as they work with young children and their families. The second provides analysis of the dilemma presented in the previous column. These columns reflect the field's current best thinking by answering the question "What should an ethical early childhood educator do?"
