The Strong Start for America’s Children Act (#investinkids)
has been introduced by Senator Tom Harkin and Representatives George Miller and
Richard Hanna. This bill is relevant to my current professional development and
adds to my understanding of how economists, neuroscientists, or politicians
support the early childhood field?
This bill is an important
bipartisan step as we collectively work to ensure that our early childhood
systems provide accessible, affordable, high quality and comprehensive services
for our most vulnerable children and families – and NBCDI thanks these Members
of Congress for their leadership (NBCDI, 2013).
New insight that I have gained from exploring the website is
that the current president Dr. Felicia DeHaney that I mentioned in my January
18th post is stepping down as the present of the organization. The reason for
her decision was not mentioned in the announcement.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a very important bill. All children do need a high quality education. How does this bill add to your understanding to how economists, neuroscientist, and politicians support early childhood education.

My question is why is Dr, DeHaney is stepping down? To me, each time an investor/politician steps down- I truly hope its a career/professional development decision and not a scandal behind the decision.
