Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Download or read book Understanding Gender Differences in the Effects of the Tulsa Pre K Program on Children s School Readiness written by Mary Corrington and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the role of gender in the effects of the Tulsa pre-K program on childrens readiness for kindergarten as assessed by scores on the Woodcock-Johnson achievement test. Evidence suggests that the Tulsa pre-K program has positive, statistically significant effects for children as a whole, but whether these effects differ by gender remains unknown. This study examined the impact of the Tulsa pre-K program on the Woodcock-Johnson achievement test scores of boys and girls in a sample of 3,579 children (1,724 girls, 1,847 boys) in the Tulsa Public Schools system during 2005-2006. A Regression Discontinuity design was utilized to determine if gender differences in the impact of the Tulsa pre-K program exist, and Hierarchical Linear Modeling was implemented to analyze whether gender differences can be explained in part by heterogeneous predictors of success for boys and girls or differential exposure to homogeneous predictors. The results of this study support the notion that policy concerns for the welfare of boys in particular may not be fully addressed by early childhood education programs. It may be important for educators and policy makers to more explicitly consider gender when training early care providers and when designing early childhood education programs to maximize the benefits for all children.
Download or read book Children s Thinking written by David F. Bjorklund and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children’s Thinking: Cognitive Development and Individual Differences, Seventh Edition by David Bjorklund remains the most comprehensive and current topical textbook available in cognitive development. The text presents up-to-date, thorough research studies and data throughout. Bjorklund expertly introduce readers to the concept of developmental function, which explains that healthy children can individually vary in their cognition as they develop. This concept is discussed throughout the text within the context of the typical progression of cognitive development through infancy and childhood. In addition, the text includes framework showing that, although some traits are established at birth, children’s cognitive development is also shaped by the physical and social environments that surround them throughout their formative years. The seventh edition has been updated to include current and extensive research, sociocultural coverage, evolutionary coverage of memory development, children’s development of prosocial cognition, moral development, and the concept of overimitation.

Download or read book To Screen Or Not to Screen written by Bonnie Elizabeth Keaton and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One in 20 children is at risk for permanent vision loss from disorders such as amblyopia and strabismus (Why Save Sight, 2016). Despite vision disorders and childhood blindness being a common disability in children, preventative vision screenings are not at the center of prevention discussions. Studies have suggested that vision screenings for young children are beneficial in preventing permanent vision loss (Vision Screenings for Healthy Vision, 2016). Vision screenings for preschool children are important and require more attention in the United States. This descriptive study addressed parental perceptions of early detection of vision problems among preschoolers in southeast Mississippi as well as what barriers prevent children from receiving preventative vision screenings. "Parents" for this study included mothers, fathers, grandparents, foster parents, and legal guardians. Parents at two different optometry clinics completed a ten-question survey to determine their opinions on this issue. Parents from both locations (85.7%; N=49) reported that young children ages 3 to 5 should have a vision screening before starting preschool. The most frequent reported barrier (16.3%) of children not having regular screenings was noted as the child passing their school screening. Overall, these findings explored the parental perceptions of the need for young children between the ages of 3 and 5 to have screenings completed before entering preschool. --Page iv.

This book was released on 1998-07-22 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive, technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the importance of these findings for the professional development of teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools, communities, the media, and government at all levels are discussed. The book examines the epidemiology of reading problems and introduces the concepts used by experts in the field. In a clear and readable narrative, word identification, comprehension, and other processes in normal reading development are discussed. Against the background of normal progress, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children examines factors that put children at risk of poor reading. It explores in detail how literacy can be fostered from birth through kindergarten and the primary grades, including evaluation of philosophies, systems, and materials commonly used to teach reading.
