Jaruszewicz (2013) outlined the historical transformation of curriculum and, from this outline, you will notice that the United States continues, like all societies, to refine beliefs about best practices in education and oftentimes these topics generate conflicting viewpoints.

Use the instructions below to guide your writing of this journal.

Historical Reflection: Explain your thoughts about the direction that early childhood curriculum has taken from its historic roots.
Future Directions Reflection: Keeping current issues and the evolving areas of debate mentioned above in mind, explain the direction you envision early childhood curriculum taking in the future.
