What to Look for When Visiting Early Childhood Classes
Lilian G. Katz
Several years ago I was invited to make a presentation at an early childhood education conference in one of the tropical countries in West Africa. When I completed the presentation, a kindergarten teacher came up to me to express her appreciation and to let me know that she had read my books and was familiar with my work. With great enthusiasm she said, “You must come and visit my classroom. It’s not far away and I want you to see what my kids are doing and to give me some suggestions about where to go next.” Needless to say, I welcomed this special opportunity to visit a kindergarten classroom in tropical Africa, even though it was a private one mostly serving the children of expatriate families employed in the area by international government agencies and large Western corporations.
