Recorded at EWA's 66th National Seminar, "Creativity Counts: Innovation in Education and the Media," May 2-4, 2013
President Obama got the early childhood education world buzzing when he announced his ambitious plans to expand preschool during his State of the Union. But doubts remain.

Can state programs and Head Start coordinate effectively? Panlists include: Ron French, Bridge Magazine; Bruce Fuller, University of California, Berkeley; Sterling Speirn, W.K.
