This book was released on 2008 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examined variations in preschool education and the subsequent impact on first grade reading achievement in a sample of 64 children. The study was divided into three parts. The first part involved kindergarten and first grade teachers participating in a focus group interview where they were asked to share their views on issues relating to school readiness and the important early literacy skills children acquire during the preschool years. The second part of the study involved parents of second grade children reflecting on their child's early literacy preschool experiences. A survey was used to determine the child's preschool setting and the self-reported literacy practices used by parents with regards to their child's preschool experiences. The third part of the study examined DIBELS archival data that served as an intensive focus on measures of phonemic awareness and projected reading achievement. Results demonstrated that children who attended non-parental home-based preschool were slightly lower-performing kindergarteners in the area of early literacy. Findings generally confirm that children who attend a public pre-kindergarten setting enter kindergarten with somewhat higher levels of academic skills than children from other preschool settings.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the relationship between teacher educational background, teacher experience, and student achievement in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. The first essay of this dissertation, Effects of Teacher Degree Level, Coursework, and Certification on Student Achievement in Math and Reading in Kindergarten, used the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study- Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K) dataset to examine how teacher degree level, coursework, and certification impact kindergarten students reading and math skills. This essay employs OLS regression and study fixed-effects models and finds no effects of advanced degrees, but positive impacts of increased child development courses in reading and positive impacts of math course taking on reading and elementary education certification on math. The second essay, The Relationship Between Teacher Degree Level, Experience, and Student Achievement in Kindergarten and First Grade, uses the ECLS-K data and OLS regression with controls to explore the relationship between degree level, experience, and student achievement in kindergarten and first grade. This essay finds no impacts of teachers with master's degrees or higher, but positive impacts of teacher experience on reading and math achievement growth over the first two years of formal schooling. Additionally, having consecutive, experienced teachers provides students an even bigger boost in test score growth. The third essay, Degree Level of Early Childhood Education Staff and Children's Cognitive and Achievement Outcomes, uses a meta-analytic database of early childhood education (ECE) programs and interventions compiled for the National Forum on Early Childhood Policies and Programs to investigate the relationship between the degree level of ECE staff and child cognitive and achievement outcomes for children from birth through age five. This essay finds positive, but statistically insignificant effects of having a high percentage of staff with bachelor's degrees compared with associate's degrees, and no effects of having a high percentage of staff with graduate degrees. These three essays help policymakers and administrators gain a clearer picture of how teacher educational background and experience impact children's achievement at a formative time in their lives.

Download or read book Sense and Nonsense about IQ written by C. M. Locurto and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-06-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating, well-written, and potentially controversial book is a wide-ranging exploration of the essential issues relevant to IQ. Charles Locurto examines data on the effectiveness of preschools; the impacts of adoption, heredity, and the role of environment; he evaluates the possibility of enhancing IQ in the early years; and he brilliantly describes and analyzes the major cases relevant to IQ research. Sense and Nonsense about IQ is truly an excellent sourcebook on the subject of human intelligence and its measurement. Locurto reaches conclusions about the benefits of preschools, adoptions, social class, and family events that will gain attention and evoke discussion. The balance of the work, neither identifying with those who follow the extremes of hereditarianism or of environmentalism, ensures that Locurto's volume will be a most valuable resource for all with a serious interest in this subject which has so many far-reaching implications.
