Practice and Policy

After a few years of amateur studies of education in the United States, I entered the classroom as an early elementary educator. The learning curve has been beyond steep, and I often wonder if I am ascending at all. My goal is for this blog will serve as a place where policy and practice meet. As I attempt to enhance my classroom by learning more about best practices in early elementary education, I am consistently reminded of the importance of staying informed with what is happening on the macro level. Education reform means so many different things, that I often find myself thinking it means nothing at all. Thankfully, I have found hope in the potential that comes with prevention. Good things are happening both in and out of early elementary classrooms, and intentional change requires a knowledge of both.
