Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions have been raised about whether parents with limited English proficiency are having difficulty accessing child care and early education programs for their children. Research suggests that quality early care experiences can greatly improve the school readiness of young children. GAO was asked to provide information on: (1) the participation of these children in programs funded through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) and Head Start; (2) the challenges these families face in accessing programs; (3) assistance that selected state and local entities provide to them; and (4) actions taken by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure program access. To obtain this information, GAO analyzed program and national survey data, interviewed officials in 5 states and 11 counties, held 12 focus groups with mothers with limited English proficiency, and interviewed experts and HHS officials. GAO recommends that HHS help states explore cost-effective ways of collecting data on the primary language of CCDF subsidy recipients and that HHS develop means of reviewing how states provide access to CCDF subsidies. In comments, HHS generally agreed with the recommendations and provided additional information on its actions and plans to implement them. Appended are: (1) Scope and Methodology; (2) Analyses of the Effects of Limited English Proficiency on Child Care and Early Education Patterns; (3) Comments from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and (4) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments. (Contains 15 tables and 4 figures.) [This document was produced by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 12 million adults in the U.S. report they do not speak English well or at all. Proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding the English language appears to be linked to multiple dimensions of adult life in the U.S., including financial literacy -- the ability to make informed judgments and take effective actions regarding the current and future use and management of money. A recent Federal Act in 2009 mandated an examination of the relationship between fluency in the English language and financial literacy. This report examines the extent, if any, to which individuals with limited English proficiency are impeded in their financial literacy and conduct of financial affairs. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can early childhood practitioners best respond to cultural and linguistic diversity and ensure positive interactions with all children and families? Discover the power of Skilled Dialogue, a unique, effective, and field-tested model for interactions that honour the cultural beliefs and values of everyone involved. Going far beyond the fundamentals introduced in the first edition of this book, the fully updated second edition incorporates expanded coverage of today's most critical topics and reflects the real-world feedback of seasoned Skilled Dialogue users. With this proven model for respectful, reciprocal, and responsive communications, pre- and inservice educators and interventionists will: understand culture as a dynamic that shapes the behaviours and beliefs of all people; actively communicate respect for what others believe, think, and value; resolve issues creatively by integrating diverse perspectives from all parties; strengthen inclusive assessment and instruction; reframe differences between practitioners and families as complementary, not contradictory; avoid stereotypes based on culture and ethnicity; and gain critical insight into the effects of trauma and how it interacts with culture. To support professionals as they put Skilled Dialogue into practice, this edition includes explicit guidance, vivid examples, and practical reproducible forms to aid with assessment, instruction, and organization of key family and child information. With this comprehensive guide to a positive, highly effective model, early childhood professionals will establish skillful interactions that honour all cultures and perspectives, leading to stronger working relationships and better outcomes for families.
