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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on the 1994 National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) assessment in geography for grades 4, 8, and 12. Students performance is summarized on a scale ranging from 0 to 500 with the achievement levels of Basic, Proficient and Advanced for each grade. Major findings for the nation include: (1) The Proficient level was reached by 22 percent of fourth graders, 28 percent of eighth graders, and 27 percent of twelfth graders; (2) At each grade level, roughly 70 percent of students were at or above the Basic level; (3) As students' geography scores increased, the complexity and sophistication of the geographic knowledge and skills they exhibited increased; and (4) Generally, students across grades in the higher percentiles exhibited greater abilities to work with a range of geographic tools, create maps based on tabular or narrative data, grasp processes and relationships, bring outside knowledge to bear on answering questions and analyze data. The book contains five chapters. Chapter 1, "NAEP 1994 Assessment in Geography," presents the overview of the NAEP 1994 geography assessment, including its content framework, design, and administration, along with sample questions and student responses from the assessment. Chapter 2, "Geography Results For the Nation and Regions," provides overall average scale score results for the nation, regions, and subgroups of students. Chapter 3, "Geography Achievement Levels," describes student performance in terms of achievement levels. Chapter 4, "Contexts in Which Students Learn Geography," describes contextual factors related to students' geography achievement. Chapter 5, "What Students Know and Can Do in Geography," describes the specific abilities that students demonstrated on the NAEP 1994 geography assessment and reports student performance in different content areas of geography. Three appendices and extensive tables and figures accompany the text. (EH)

The tests are listed in alphabetical order for easy reference. The volume also features a state-of-the-art essay on "Mental Measurement: Some Emerging Trends" by Dr. Anne Anastasi, a leading figure in the field of measurement. Indexes to the volume are: an Index of Titles with cross references and identification of new and revised tests, an Index of Acronyms, a Classified Subject Index, a Publisher's Directory and Index which includes publisher names and addresses and test listings by publisher, and Index of Names, and an innovative Score Index which refers readers to tests featuring particular kinds of scores that are of interest to them. Widely regarded as the bible of testing, the Mental Measurements Yearbook is an indispensible reference work. The Ninth Mental Measurements Yearbook continues and extends this proud tradition of excellence in providing service to test users.
