This study examines how a higher education faculty task force has influenced early childhood policy and professional development in New Mexico. The challenges faced by this state, including being ranked fiftieth in the general well-being of children, are also challenges for its educational systems. This study adds information about how advocacy groups that include higher education faculty engage in addressing these problems. The research question asked how this group became an advocacy force in New Mexico.

520 $a This study examines how a higher education faculty task force has influenced early childhood policy and professional development in New Mexico. The challenges faced by this state, including being ranked fiftieth in the general well-being of children, are also challenges for its educational systems. This study adds information about how advocacy groups that include higher education faculty engage in addressing these problems. The research question asked how this group became an advocacy force in New Mexico.
520 $a The study is framed with the postmodern perspectives of Michel Foucault, Gunilla Dahlberg, Peter Moss, Gayle Canella, Susan Greishaber, and Sharon Ryan that encourage early childhood educators to bring forward questions inclusive of all childhoods.
520 $a A qualitative, single-case study was conducted by interviewing members of this task force, recording and transcribing meeting records, and by recording the researcher's observations in a journal. This data was triangulated to reveal eight major themes and three minor themes that provide descriptive data about the group. The major themes that emerged were: Relationships, Work and Working, Articulation, Pathways, Curriculum, PED/Licensure, Representing, and Confusion. The three minor themes included Experts, Others, and Questioning. The constant comparative process was then used to compare interview quotes, meeting records, and the participant observer journal, and the resulting data supports these themes.
520 $a Findings from the study include that the Task Force members used the language of a representative democracy to describe their roles, that work was accomplished through a collaborative process, and that the structure and working method of the Task Force has potential to be used as a model. Characteristics of this model include the use of collective human voice, work done over time and across policy levels, and the inclusion a wide variety of stakeholders.
520 $a The descriptive information from the study is useful to provide information about advocacy, advocacy coalitions, higher education faculty, and postmodern perspectives as related to early childhood education and professional development.
