What is it about?
Cross-cultural communication in socioculturally responsive programming of early childhood education. Participatory appropriation of new practices requires strong linkages between old and new understandings. Successful co-construction by diverse stakeholder groups requires both common ground and agreed modes of interaction. Sustainable policy requires institutional transformation. Psychological science has better prospects of impacting policy if it is embedded in a multidisciplinary framework.
