Initiated as part of the Council on Anthropology and Education's Policy Engagement Working Group, the policy brief “Ethnographic Knowledge For Early Childhood” focused on making the case for ethnography as evidence within early childhood federal policy. This article describes the creation and distribution of the policy brief as well as the challenges and possibilities we have as educational anthropologists to make our work accessible to local and national policymakers.
