Powerful Allies: Arts Educators and Early Childhood Educators Joining Forces on Behalf of Young Children
Baum, Angela C.
Arts Education Policy Review, v118 n3 p183-188 2017
Arts educators and early childhood educators espouse similar philosophies and purposes surrounding young children's educational lives, yet continue to function in largely separate worlds. This article calls for the creation of intentional alliances between the two disciplines, by first recognizing and embracing these alignments. In addition, this article provides recommendations for arts educators and early childhood educators to consider as they join forces to ensure that all young children have access to high-quality arts-based education.
