Tager draws on findings of a qualitative study to reveal how the neoliberal agenda of school reform based on high-stakes testing labels children as non-ready resulting in exclusionary measures that marginalize low-income Black children, affecting their overall schooling careers.  Disrupting expected notions of readiness is imperative to ending practices of structural classism and racism in early childhood education. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49642029220088,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":458.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781138672390-1.jpg?v=1783645886","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781138672390","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
