Staff, parents, and politics in Head Start

the long version

"An in-depth case study of two Head Start centers, this book offers analysis of the struggles over power, knowledge, and resources that surround Project Head Start. Author Peggy A. Sissel reveals Project Head Start as being shaped by contested issues of authority, competency, accountability, resource incompatibility, professionalism, and ethics. In the course of her analysis, she raises concerns about the program's ability to meet the needs of the participating families, and about the principles upon which the program is constructed."--BOOK JACKET.
