Download or read book Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.
Download or read book Finding Funding written by Dionne Dobbins-Harper and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is part of a series of tools and resources on financing and sustaining youth programming. These tools and resources are intended to help policymakers, program developers, and community leaders develop innovative strategies for implementing, financing, and sustaining effective programs and policies. This guide outlines strategies for gaining access to and using federal funds and provides information on 103 funding sources offering supports for youth programming. It includes well-known sources of funding for youth programming, for example, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, the state grants program of the "Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act," and "Gang Resistance Education and Training." It also includes some often overlooked funding sources, such as the U.S. Department of Labor's Apprenticeship Program, which prepares young people for the workforce, or the Corporation for National Service's Learn and Serve America program, which emphasizes positive youth development through volunteer opportunities. Section I of this guide looks at the funding landscape for programs serving youth. It provides an overview of public and private investments in youth programming. It also outlines some of the key challenges facing policymakers and community leaders as well as factors affecting present and future investments in these initiatives. Section II describes the structure and requirements of the various federal funding mechanisms to fund youth programs. Section III introduces the framework The Finance Project used to guide its research on federal funding sources for youth programming. This section also analyzes the broad domains (e.g., youth programming services, supportive services for youth, and youth development system supports) used in the framework and provides examples of federal programs that can support activities in each domain. Section IV presents strategies for maximizing federal funds and building partnerships. This section highlights youth initiatives that have used creative financing strategies to support their programming and offers tips for accessing funds and implementing financing strategies. Section V contains a catalog of federal funding sources that can support youth programming. Each one-page summary describes the funding source and provides eligibility, application, and contact information. To help readers identify specific funding sources to support their initiative, each source is also categorized according to the particular activities or services it can fund. Appendix A lists the funding sources cataloged in Section V sorted by the federal agency administering the funding source. Appendix B displays the federal programs by funding type (e.g., entitlements, block grants, and discretionary grants). (Contains 15 footnotes.).
Download or read book Child Welfare for the Twenty first Century written by Gerald P. Mallon and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA), which became law in 1997, elicited a major shift in federal policy and thinking toward child welfare, emphasizing children’s safety, permanency, and well-being over preserving their biological ties at all costs. The first edition of this volume was the earliest major social work textbook to map the field of child welfare after ASFA’s passage, detailing the practices, policies, programs, and research affected by the legislation’s new attitude toward care. This second edition highlights the continuously changing child welfare climate in the U.S., including content on the Fostering Connections Act of 2008. Gerald P. Mallon and Peg McCartt Hess have updated the text throughout, drawing from real world case examples, using data obtained from the national Child and Family Services Reviews and emerging empirically based practices. They have also added chapters addressing child welfare workforce issues, supervision, and research and evaluation. Divided into four sections—child and adolescent well-being, child and adolescent safety, permanency for children and adolescents, and systemic issues within services, policies, and programs—this newly edited volume provides a current understanding of family support and child protective services, risk assessment, substance and sexual abuse issues, domestic violence issues, guardianship, reunification, kinship and foster family care, adoption, and transitional living programs. Recognized scholars, practitioners, and policy makers also discuss meaningful engagement with families, particularly Latino families; health care for children and youth, including mental health care; effective practices with LGBT youth and their families; placement stability; foster parent recruitment and retention; and the challenges of working with immigrant children, youth, and families.

Download or read book Youth Work Process Product and Practice written by Jon Ord and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth Work Process and Practice provides an overview of the central concerns in youth work today, exploring what youth work actually consists in and developing an authentic theoretical framework for practice. This accessible textbook places the role of the curriculum and idea of practice as a process at the centre of youth work. Exploring important aspects of practice – such as empowerment, participation and choice, group work, experiential learning and the importance of relationship building – Jon Ord explains how the idea of curriculum can be used to communicate, legitimate and develop youth worth practice, as well as help to articulate its value and importance. The book includes a detailed and up-to-date analysis of the policy climate, looks at the implications of its focus on measurability and outcomes and discusses the impact of devolution in the UK on youth work practice. It contrasts dominant contemporary perspectives of youth and youth culture and argues that, rather than competing, ‘informal’ and ‘social’ education are twin aspects of an educational practice which must emphasises both individual development and wider social change. Youth Work Process and Practice is an essential read for all students of youth and community work and will also be an important reference for practising youth workers.

Download or read book International Practices to Promote Budget Literacy written by Harika Masud and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budget literacy is defined as 'the ability to read, decipher, and understand public budgets to enable and enhance meaningful citizen participation in the budget process'. It is comprised of two main parts - (i) a technical understanding of public budgets, including familiarity with government spending, tax rates and public debt and; (ii) the ability to engage in the budget process, comprising of practical knowledge on day-to-day issues, as well as an elementary understanding of the economic, social and political implications of budget policies, the stakeholders involved and when and how to provide inputs during the annual budget cycle. Given that no international standards or guidelines have been established for budget literacy education to date, this book seeks to address this gap by taking stock of illustrative initiatives promoting budget literacy for youth in selected countries. The underlying presumption is that when supply-side actors in the budget process -- governments -- simplify and disseminate budget information for demand-side actors -- citizens -- this information will then be used by citizens to provide feedback on the budget. However, since citizens are often insufficiently informed about public budgets to constructively participate in budget processes one way to empower them and to remedy the problem of "budget illiteracy" is to provide budget-literacy education in schools to youth, helping them evolve into civic-minded adults with the essential knowledge needed for analyzing their government's fiscal policy objectives and measures, and the confidence and sense of social responsibility to participate in the oversight of public resources. This book elaborates on approaches, learning outcomes, pedagogical strategies and assessment approaches for budget literacy education, and presents lessons that are relevant for the development, improvement, or scaling up of budget literacy initiatives.

Book excerpt: The roles that media play in the lives of children and adolescents, as well as their potential implications for their cognitive, emotional, social and behavioral development, have attracted growing research attention in a variety of disciplines.
