Ready for What?: Constructing Meanings of Readiness for Kindergarten
Angebote / Angebote:
This book looks at readiness from a different perspective, arguing that we must move away from the readiness-as-child characteristic so prevalent in education and the popular press. Instead, readiness is explained as an idea constructed by parents, teachers, and children as they interact in their neighborhoods and communities.Graue describes three communities in the same school district: a middle-class, suburban town of professionals, a rural, working-class community, and a group of Hispanic, working-class families making their way through their children's kindergarten experiences. In each setting, the local meaning of readiness is the underlying theme in the actions taken by parents and their attitudes about their children's first public school experience.
