Megan Griffard (Educational Policy and Leadership) and colleagues, Lora Cohen-Vogel from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Michael Little from North Carolina State University published an article, "Governing Early Learning Among the American States," in Children and Youth Services Review. The article presents a new typology for categorizing the various early childhood governance structures across the U.S. It also investigates which states leverage their governance structures to improve vertical alignment between B-3 and K-12 education.
