Application Assignment: Equity in Early Childhood Systems—A Closer Look

Bring to mind the focus this week—two different yet connected issues related to early childhood care and education—excellence and equity. In the Discussion, you evaluated some of the main issues that are part of the debate about excellence, such as school readiness, national standards, and achievement gaps. With this Application Assignment, you turn your attention more specifically to questions and issues related to equity in early care and education.

In preparation for this assignment:

• Review Kagan’s article “American Early Childhood Education: Preventing or Perpetuating Inequity?,” and note the six early childhood inequities the author presents. They range from the kinds of inequity that affect young children even before they get to preschool, to inequity in the infrastructure that supports early childhood education. Then take particular note of the six specific policy recommendations meant to lead toward a more equitable, high-quality early childhood system.
• Choose one of the inequities in which you are most interested.
• Then, analyze each of the six policy recommendations, and determine in what way(s) any or all might help alleviate or eradicate the inequity you chose.

For this assignment submit:

• A brief description of the inequity on which you decided to focus
• A summary of each of the six policy recommendations
• An evaluation, based on what you have learned so far, of the ways in which any of the six recommendation does/does not help reduce/eradicate the selected inequity
• A summarizing paragraph reflecting on any insight(s) you gained about the inequity on which you chose to focus
• An assessment of ways your current understanding of issues related to equity in early childhood education has broadened and deepened and how this new knowledge and awareness might influence your work with young children and families

Overview

One of the most crucial components to this course concerns addressing social problems in society from a sociological viewpoint as opposed to a strictly policy-oriented, psychological, or criminal justice viewpoint. Although many different viewpoints in social science are valid and have a lot of importance, it is equally important for us to understand how sociology looks at the nature of social problems in society today. This paper will enable us to explore why certain social problems seem to be regarded as more significant than others. Our job will be in defining the sociological viewpoint, and choosing one social problem that we think is of high importance. We will build upon the topic we choose in this paper for our second and third writing assignments.

Instructions

Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas:

1)    Citing our textbook material, explain how the sociological approach toward social problems differs from other approaches. Why are certain problems considered significant and others are not?

2)    Next, choose one social problem that exists in society that you think is particularly serious, and explain it in sociological terms. This social problem should be measurable in some statistical way. (Is it increasing, and if so, how? Among which groups of people, and for how long, etc.?)

3)    What might be one important way in which the social problem is currently being addressed in society?

4)    Please define and identify at least four concepts from our text relevant to your chosen social problem.

5)    Analyze the way in which these concepts help us better understand the nature of the social problem you are discussing.

Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (Assignment One is worth 10% of the total grade.)

Original work must be utilized, to include APA guidelines, citations and references.
