Book excerpt: This is a valuable study of a group of superior children, with an analysis of their physical, mental and educational development, and their practical interests. They were found, on the whole, to show all-round superiority, to come from superior families, and to be capable of richer educational experiences than the usual school curriculum affords. -The Journal of Delinquency, Vol. 7* * * * * From the EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION. It is becoming a commonplace to say that our school system fails to detect and to furnish adequate training for the capable child. A certain doctrine, fortifying itself with the name of democracy, shrinks from the fundamental fact of individual differences and deprecates in the name of equality anything but a uniform treatment of school children. This doctrine is false and is based upon a faulty conception of democracy. The evidence that men are not born equal is conclusive. If, then, the fact of differences-many, varied, and wide-is accepted (as indeed it must be by anyone who approaches the facts with an open mind) then the corrolary that training should be different must also be accepted. Nor does this acceptance of differentiated training relate solely or mainly to gifted children. "The world's best brains fully trained" is only a partial program which should be replaced by the wider program "everybody's brains fully trained." In this monograph the author brings into sharp relief the superior child. The "Child Study" of an earlier day, under the influence of the tendency to specialization which is so generally evident, has been broken up into the intensive study of types of children; and among these none is so attractive as the superior type. Means for detecting children of this type and an analysis of their characteristics are surely important educational considerations. "To do justice to superiority we must understand it." The reader will seek and find in the following treatment a better understanding of this superiority. Whether it will enable him to do justice to superior children will depend upon his ability to use this knowledge. At any rate, there is no virtue in ignorance. There are gifted children in every school system. The author takes us into one of these systems and describes in minute detail the sort of superior children she found. We do not propose in this introduction to anticipate her in the treatment of her material. One thing, however, stands out in the entire discussion, namely, the all-around superiority of the capable child selected on the basis of intelligence testing. For example, according to the data here presented the superior child is in the matter of interest always at an advantage. He not only has keener and more vitalizing interests, but he has more of them. Moreover, he makes greater effort, is more socially adaptable, and possesses higher qualities of leadership. In short, he is superior. -B. R. Buckingham, Editor.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The never-before-told true story of Jane Elliott and the “Blue-Eyes, Brown-Eyes Experiment” she made world-famous, using eye color to simulate racism. The day after Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination in 1968, Jane Elliott, a schoolteacher in rural Iowa, introduced to her all-white third-grade class a shocking experiment to demonstrate the scorching impact of racism. Elliott separated students into two groups. She instructed the brown-eyed children to heckle and berate the blue-eyed students, even to start fights with them. Without telling the children the experiment’s purpose, Elliott demonstrated how easy it was to create abhorrent racist behavior based on students’ eye color, not skin color. As a result, Elliott would go on to appear on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, followed by a stormy White House conference, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and thousands of media events and diversity-training sessions worldwide, during which she employed the provocative experiment to induce racism. Was the experiment benign? Or was it a cruel, self-serving exercise in sadism? Did it work? Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes is a meticulously researched book that details for the first time Jane Elliott’s jagged rise to stardom. It is an unflinching assessment of the incendiary experiment forever associated with Elliott, even though she was not the first to try it out. Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes offers an intimate portrait of the insular community where Elliott grew up and conducted the experiment on the town’s children for more than a decade. The searing story is a cautionary tale that examines power and privilege in and out of the classroom. It also documents small-town White America’s reflex reaction to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the subsequent meteoric rise of diversity training that flourishes today. All the while, Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes reveals the struggles that tormented a determined and righteous woman, today referred to as the “Mother of Diversity Training,” who was driven against all odds to succeed.
