Book excerpt: The first of the National Education Goals calls for every child to be ready to learn when entering kindergarten. Noting that children are more likely to succeed when schools and families are prepared for each other, this book describes the grassroots efforts of The W.K. Kellogg Foundation School Readiness Initiatives to link families, schools, and communities in a variety of settings and populations. After background information on the national education goals, professional practices, and public policies that aim at providing high-quality experiences for young children, Chapter 1 introduces the emergence of the 20 Initiatives and their efforts to translate national aims into daily action. The second and third chapters discuss core strategies to prepare children and schools for each other. Chapter 2 focuses on family-oriented strategies, such as strengthening families, including communities for the children's progress, and promoting cultural competence by using culturally sensitive strategies and materials. Chapter 3 discusses strategies that engage the community, such as building on community assets, assessing community resources, and collaborating with local agencies and programs. In addition, emphasis is placed on working for results, looking for partners, generating publicity, and creating a bigger dream by nurturing local leadership. An appendix contains descriptions of each Initiative, including names of contact persons, the population served, and the nature of the initiatives and their successes. (BAC)

Download or read book When Pre K Comes to School written by Bethany Wilinski and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Pre-K Comes to School traces what happens—for institutions and teachers—when a school district and community ECE centers partner to provide public pre-K. Wilinski examines policy implementation across diverse sites—a private part-day preschool, a corporate childcare center, and a public elementary school. She demonstrates how pre-K partnerships create opportunities but also considerable constraints for the institutions and teachers involved. Though teachers are required to comply with the same policy mandates, their compensation and access to resources varies greatly. This book calls for policies and practices that will work better for teachers, which, in turn, will work better for children. The book’s unique, insider perspective on how policy is actually enacted in schools provides important insight into what communities and policymakers should consider when creating pre-K policies. Book Features: An in-depth examination of teachers’ work across settings and situated within a changing, broader policy context. Evidence that public pre-K partnerships have serious and sometimes negative consequences for teachers and institutions. A focus on the experience of teachers who are critical to the success of pre-K. Interviews with pre-K teachers and state policymakers. Recommendations for pre-K policy that is more beneficial to teachers, institutions, and families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It′s time to build a bridge between early childhood programs and the K–3 system to ensure continued success for all children. This is the ultimate how-to manual for administrators and teachers who wish to maintain and maximize the gains children make in preschool." —Sally Wingle, Preschool Teacher Chelsea Community Preschool, MI "A great guide pointing in the right direction for starting a program. With the U.S. Department of Education′s emphasis on early childhood education and new monies available from the stimulus plan, this book is a valuable resource." —Cindy Luna, Principal Northside ISD, San Antonio, TX A 10-step plan for linking early childhood education to the K–3 system! The national push for improving young children′s early learning experiences is no longer just about preschool. Now the focus is on strategic planning to increase achievement by reaching out to community early childhood education providers, establishing a strong PreK–3 foundation that connects early childhood education standards and goals to a K–3 system, and ensuring that young learners receive high-quality instruction before kindergarten. Drawing on more than 20 years′ success with a PreK–3 system in Washington state, the authors present a 10-step, field-tested model that demonstrates how early childhood professionals and K–12 school leaders can outline a clear implementation plan for an integrated PreK–3 system that: Identifies both families′ and children′s needs Shares developmental information about individual learning skills and social/emotional development as children transition to kindergarten Aligns resources, curriculum, instruction, and assessments Anticipates challenges and celebrates successes Invites input from superintendents, state officials, Head Start leaders, and Title I directors

This book was released on 1992 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the value and need for quality early childhood education programs for children ages four through eight years, the Michigan State Board of Education appointed an ad hoc committee to develop standards of quality. Based on the draft developed by this committee, this standards guide is designed to assist administrators, teachers, and parents in developing high quality early childhood education programs for children and assist local administrators in their efforts to implement the state mandates for the Core Curriculum. The outcomes recommended elaborate on the Model Core Curriculum Outcomes, with specific emphasis on early childhood developmentally appropriate practices. Critical program components are presented as distinct areas for which standards have been established, used to define quality, and recognized as determinants of expected program outcomes. The critical components are: (1) statement of philosophy; (2) accountability; (3) coordination, cooperation, and program support, including funding, instructional staff, and administrative/supervisory personnel; (4) family and community collaboration; (5) child development; (6) curriculum, including climate and strategies and content areas; and (7) assessment and evaluation of program goals and learner outcomes. The content areas of the curriculum are: (1) cognitive development; (2) mathematics; (3) science; (4) creative arts; (5) language arts; (6) physical development; (7) health, nutrition, and safety; (8) social and emotional development; and (9) social studies. Within the first five critical components and the climate and strategies area of the curriculum component, standards are delineated with accompanying criterion, quality indicators, and supporting references. Included within the content areas of the curriculum component are learner outcomes, indicators, suggested instructional strategies, and relevant references. The assessment and evaluation of program goals and learning outcomes component includes standards, indicators, suggested strategies, and supporting references. Appended is a glossary of relevant terms. (Kb).
