This book was released on 2018 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of high stakes testing and accountability, educators and policy makers are working to improve the educational outcomes for children. In a quest to help children achieve at high levels, Pre-Kindergarten is often cited as a proactive strategy to address the academic gaps many children have upon entering school. While the goal of Pre-Kindergarten is to prepare children for later schooling, it is important to determine if this costly strategy has sustainable, long-term academic benefits The purpose of this research was to determine if a Title I, Part A Pre-Kindergarten program had an impact on the later academic achievement of children in a rural, high poverty, high minority, public school district in Mississippi. The results from this study can provide educators and policymakers with data as they work to align resources to provide an effective education program. It can provide educators with information to review and revise practices and procedures for positive early childhood education experiences. The quantitative, causal-comparative study examined the 3rd-grade academic achievement of children to determine if a significant difference existed between the The overall collective data results from the study suggest Pre-Kindergarten participation does not significantly improve the reading scores of children at the end of 3rd-grade. Although variances in the data were shown, it may be a result of the small sample sizes. The children who attended Pre-Kindergarten did miss significantly fewer days of school. The recommendations for future research are as follows: (a) conduct a longitudinal study to determine how students who received Pre-Kindergarten services compared to those who did not in later grades such as grades five, eight, and a later high school grade, (b) replicate the study with data from the children who received Pre-Kindergarten services in an Early Learning Collaborative in Mississippi, and (c) conduct a qualitative study of 3rd grade teachers to see if they recognize a difference between the Pre-Kindergarten participants and non-participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clearly babies come into the world remarkably receptive to its wonders. Their alertness to sights, sounds, and even abstract concepts makes them inquisitive explorersâ€"and learnersâ€"every waking minute. Well before formal schooling begins, children's early experiences lay the foundations for their later social behavior, emotional regulation, and literacy. Yet, for a variety of reasons, far too little attention is given to the quality of these crucial years. Outmoded theories, outdated facts, and undersized budgets all play a part in the uneven quality of early childhood programs throughout our country. What will it take to provide better early education and care for our children between the ages of two and five? Eager to Learn explores this crucial question, synthesizing the newest research findings on how young children learn and the impact of early learning. Key discoveries in how young children learn are reviewed in language accessible to parents as well as educators: findings about the interplay of biology and environment, variations in learning among individuals and children from different social and economic groups, and the importance of health, safety, nutrition and interpersonal warmth to early learning. Perhaps most significant, the book documents how very early in life learning really begins. Valuable conclusions and recommendations are presented in the areas of the teacher-child relationship, the organization and content of curriculum, meeting the needs of those children most at risk of school failure, teacher preparation, assessment of teaching and learning, and more. The book discusses: Evidence for competing theories, models, and approaches in the field and a hard look at some day-to-day practices and activities generally used in preschool. The role of the teacher, the importance of peer interactions, and other relationships in the child's life. Learning needs of minority children, children with disabilities, and other special groups. Approaches to assessing young children's learning for the purposes of policy decisions, diagnosis of educational difficulties, and instructional planning. Preparation and continuing development of teachers. Eager to Learn presents a comprehensive, coherent picture of early childhood learning, along with a clear path toward improving this important stage of life for all children.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study examined the influence of attending Head Start or Title I prekindergarten on student academic progress in reading and math as well as acquisition of appropriate work habits and conduct. The study tracked the rate of academic progress on two separate groups of Head Start attendees and two separate groups of Title I prekindergarten students as they progressed from kindergarten through grade three. In kindergarten through second grade, report card scores in reading, math, work habits, and conduct of students receiving an academic pre-kindergarten experience were compared to those of students with no academic pre-kindergarten experience. All children studied were from families with similar socioeconomic status. In third grade, the pre-test and post-test scores on the North Carolina End-of-Grade Test administered in reading and math in grade three were compared. A Hierarchical Linear Model measured the initial status and growth rate within and between students and a repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the End-of-Grade Test data. The students having a Head Start or Title I prekindergarten experience demonstrated significant, modest gains over no pre-kindergarten experience children in acquisition of reading and math skills in kindergarten and first grade. There were no significant differences in reading and math performance among all four groups in second and third grades. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the child's acquisition of work habits or appropriate conduct skills at any grade level.

Book excerpt: Since its beginning in 1965 as a part of the War on Poverty, Head Start's goal has been to boost the school readiness of low-income children. Based on a 'whole child' model, the program provides comprehensive services that include pre-school education; medical, dental, and mental health care; nutrition services; and efforts to help parents foster their child's development. Head Start services are designed to be responsive to each child's and family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. The Congressionally-mandated Head Start Impact Study was conducted across 84 nationally representative grantee/delegate agencies. Approximately 5,000 newly entering 3- and 4-year-old children applying for Head Start were randomly assigned to either a Head Start group that had access to Head Start program services or to a non- Head Start group that could enrol in available community non-Head Start services, selected by their parents. Data collection began in fall 2002 and is scheduled to continue through 2006, following children through the spring of their 1st-grade year. The study quantifies the impact of Head Start separately for 3- and 4-year-old children across child cognitive, social-emotional, and health domains as well as ii on parenting practices. This book is essential reading for those in the education field.
