Critical reflection in this section will empower you to deconstruct “quality” and current practices, identify programming foundations, and lead meaningful change to improve early learning environments.
Consider:
- Which inherited practices in ECE do you believe most influence your current programming?
- How can you use critical reflection to deconstruct existing definitions of quality and advocate for meaningful change in early learning environments?
