You will choose and analyze a current issue/trend related to early childhood educational programming based on the research you have done on this topic. The Unit 5 Discussion and Seminar will have given you an excellent start on this Assignment. Using your research, Discussion, and Seminar, you will write a 3–5-page paper.

Your paper should include a discussion on the issue or trend you chose and how this issue or trend has emerged and developed over time.
