{"product_id":"book-gntu","title":"No Longer Welcome","description":"For over fifteen years, researchers have described a crisis in our nations' early learning classrooms. Hundreds of children are expelled from childcare and preschool every day; a rate nearly three times that of kindergarten-twelfth grade students. Each child's expulsion is symptomatic of a larger crisis—an overburdened, underfunded, undervalued, and fragmented early education system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn early childhood, expulsion is the result of a series of adult decisions made within constrained contexts and at times blind to downstream consequences: exhausted and underpaid teachers deciding how to expend their limited attention and energy in a chaotic classroom; administrators on razor-thin budgets deciding among hiring additional personnel, providing high-quality training, or investing in adequate classroom resources; fragmented state agencies separately deciding on standards and policies and allocating funds for early intervention and consultation services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy examining these complex causes, \u003ci\u003eNo Longer Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e starts a critical conversation between and across sectors of the early childhood field. Drawing on her research and interviews with teachers, program administrators, parents, and policymakers, Dr. Zinsser presents the listener with a rich description of the myriad of factors contributing to the expulsion crisis.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49358209351984,"sku":"BDgntu","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49358211186992,"sku":"ZEgntu","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49358211318064,"sku":"ZMgntu","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gntu-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780187843","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gntu","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
