Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging discussion about the new roles schools are taking and how they are expanding their traditional mission.. n this timely book, Matia Finn-Stevenson and Edward Zigler argue that the federal government alone cannot address the need for child care and family support services that, like education, should be addressed locally. The authors use their Schools of the 21st Century (21C) program as an example of how schools can provide child care, outreach services, home visitations, and health and nutrition servicesin addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic. Whereas Part Two of the book discusses the authors Schools of the 21st Century program in considerable detail, Parts One and Three address a broader range of issues concerning the effects that early education has on later school success and the various policy and conceptual approaches that have been tried, both nationally and internationally, in an effort to reform schools. The authors also critically review the research on the effects of child care on childrens development and the importance of family support services. Included is a wealth of information on the research and practical applications of school reform initiatives in general and the implementation of child and family support services in particular. }In this timely book, Matia Finn-Stevenson and Edward Zigler argue that the federal government alone cannot address the need for child care and family support services that, like education, should be addressed locally. The authors use their Schools of the 21st Century (21C) program as an example of how schools can provide child care, outreach services, home visitations, and health and nutrition servicesin addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic.Conceptualized in 1987 in response to the child care crisis in this country, 21C has been implemented in over 600 schools in seventeen states. However, schools involvement with increasingly younger children is not without controversy. The authors also address questions regarding evaluation and effective implementation and scale-up strategies, and consider what changes in teacher training programs should occur to prepare teachers for working in schools of the twenty-first century; what provisions should be made to accommodate for the need to staff schools with personnel trained in early child development; and what changes need to be made in the financial structures of schools to accommodate child care and support services.Whereas Part Two of the book discusses the authors Schools of the 21st Century program in considerable detail, Parts One and Three address a broader range of issues concerning the effects that early education has on later school success and the various policy and conceptual approaches that have been tried, both nationally and internationally. Finn-Stevenson and Zigler also critically review the research on the effects of child care on children and other school reform initiatives that have been implemented in schools. Schools of the 21st Century is an engaging discussion about the new roles schools are taking and how they are expanding their traditional mission.
Download or read book Evaluation of the Out of School Time Initiative Report on the First Year written by Christina A. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) launched services under its Out-of-School Time (OST) Programs for Youth in September 2005, with the award of funds to support more than 500 programs across New York City. Together, DYCD and the city's nonprofit community, working closely with the New York City Department of Education (DOE), extended services to more than 51,000 youth across the city in the initiative's first year, making OST almost certainly the nation's largest afterschool program effort. The OST initiative is designed to address a broad range of developmental objectives for youth and to serve the needs of New York City's families and communities. This report of findings from the OST evaluation presents data on the first year of program implementation and early findings on participant engagement in OST programs and associated academic and social development outcomes. It describes a program effort that builds on DYCD's historic commitment to New York City's youth and on the work of nearly 200 community-based and other nonprofit organizations with lead roles in implementing the initiative. The evaluation sought to determine (1) the characteristics of programs supported by the OST initiative; (2) who participates in these programs and their attendance patterns; (3) the participants' patterns of social and emotional growth; (4) whether the programs affect participants' educational performance; and (5) whether the programs meet the city's needs for assistance to working parents youth during the out-of-school hours. Among the findings: 528 programs were launched. Across these 528 programs, DYCD awarded contracts that were intended to serve 15,462 youth in elementary-grades programs, 9,659 youth in middle-grades programs, 11,512 youth in high school programs, and 7,183 youth in programs serving multiple grade levels, for a total of 43,816 youth. Including all participants, 74 percent of Option I programs met or exceeded their enrollment targets. Nearly 98 percent offered homework help to their elementary-grades participants. 84 percent reported offering many visual arts and crafts activities. Many regularly offered free time for physical play and unstructured time for socializing (59 percent and 57 percent, respectively). Middle-grades programs offered a similar set of activities, although organized team sports and dance/movement activities were more common in the middle-grades programs (reported by 73 percent and 53 percent of program directors). Findings suggest that programs targeting high school youth were more specialized and tended to be more civic-oriented, reflecting the interests of high school youth. The following are appended: (1) Priority Middle School OST Programs; (2) Scales Used in Program Observation Analyses; (3) Details of Data Used in Analyses of Program Features; (4) Details of Data Used in Analyses of Participant Experiences; and (5) Details of Analyses of Associations between Participant Experiences and Program Features.

Download or read book The Autonomous State of Childcare written by Serena Liu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. Public childcare provision in Britain is an issue that raises much passion and has been the source of much disappointment. Free childcare in Britain is limited. Public policy has been slow to change in terms of providing more childcare. Insufficient public childcare provision is a barrier to acheiving equal rights for women, especially within the employment sector. This book sets out to search for the factors crucial to constraining the development of childcare policy and public childcare provision. It looks at schemes that have been set up but that ultimately fail in allowing women to work by not providing the necessary childcare provision. The book looks at the issue of childcare provision, how the policy process works, the different types of childcare provision past and present, and implementation and operation of childcare schemes.
