Margaret Carr, unlike many of the pioneer educationalists studied today, is alive, well and carrying on her ground-breaking work in the education of young children.
She is a professor of educational research at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, where she has been based for a number of years, and has been awarded the title of Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to early childhood. Her contribution is also recognised beyond her home country – having been endorsed by the OECD and invited to write a report for UNESCO.
Her research and writing cover a wide range of topics related to children’s learning dispositions and competencies.
