Voices of Practitioners, Fall 2022, Volume 17
You are here
Voices of Practitioners is based on valuing the wisdom of practicing educators and on the underlying philosophy that teachers, site administrators, and other early childhood professionals who work directly with children and their communities hold the key. This year’s compilation, the 17th volume of Voices, focuses on the importance of (re)centering play in early learning. In this collection, practitioners reflect on how we as educators promote creativity and agency in play for each and every young child.
