This afternoon I am presenting on technology and law (what else, right?) to the Kentucky Infant - Toddler Institute. I was a high school teacher, so early childhood education is pretty far from my area of expertise. The only real expertise I have on this topic is simply because of my kids (it was Matthew's first day of Kindergartern, by the way, so I had to attach a picture from this morning).
Anyway, where are the early childhood education law resources? I looked around a little on the net and found a few valuable things, but there is no textbooks out there on this. Not a lot of online guides. There seems to be some special education stuff, but generally it seems a relatively neglected area of the law. From a legal standpoint only, this is sort of a problem because there are a lot of legal complexities in early childhood, in particular. There are a lot of different types of providers out there, and differing legal systems might apply in differing situations.
So, some enterprising young researcher out there with an early childhood background, here is a niche for you. We could use some help here.
