Book excerpt: Noting that the latest messages communicated to the public about the learning problems of American children emphasize children's lack of social maturity and premature school entry, this book examines the many complex issues surrounding school readiness and entry. The 15 chapters are divided into 4 sections. The first section includes an introduction and overview of school readiness and a discussion of the concept of school readiness. The second section deals with assessing readiness. This section presents issues in early childhood screening and assessment, comparisons of some current readiness and screening tests, and an analysis of the Gesell School Readiness Test. Also discussed in this section is the social and emotional adjustment of children considered "young" for their age. The third section examines school practices. This section covers issues in the entrance age debate, an analysis of the influence of entrance age on achievement, and the transition room experience. In addition, the section discusses retention in kindergarten and first grade, intervention and remediation programs for young children, and issues affecting early childhood education. The final section of the book examines the related issues of parental reactions, and ethical and legal issues in the educational placement of children. The last chapter in this section offers a recapitulation with some final issues for consideration. Contains 19 pages of references. (VL)

Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide the Center for Excellence (CfE) in Early Childhood Development with a set of recommendations regarding how to measure school readiness in Ventura County. This report defines school readiness according to the National Education Goals Panel (NEGP) which identified the following three important components of school readiness: (1) children are ready for school; (2) schools' readiness for children; and (3) family and community supports and services that contribute to children's readiness. Although this report primarily focuses on measures for assessing the first component of the NEGP definition, "Children are Ready for School," the second two components are also essential for measuring the school readiness of a community and therefore will be addressed later in the report. The authors of this report take the position that it is an extremely worthwhile endeavor for CfE to pursue developing a school readiness assessment system for Ventura County because it could potentially help: (1) parents learn about their child's optimal physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development; (2) teachers get to know their children, plan activities, and adjust curriculum; (3) school districts determine patterns, identify areas of high need, guide curriculum development, and improve educational programs; (4) service providers for young children assess how well early childhood services perform in raising the developmental level of young children prior to entry into school; and (5) Center for Excellence evaluate the First 5 Ventura County initiative and inform strategic planning, training and technical assistance activities, and quality improvement efforts of the First 5 Initiative. Appended are: (1) School Readiness Assessment Task Force Members; (2) School Readiness Assessment Tool Inventory; (3) Survey of Ventura County School Districts; and (4) Kindergarten Teacher Focus Groups. (Contains 5 tables.) [This project was made possiblethrough generous funding and support from the Center for Excellence in Early Childhood Development and First 5 Ventura County.].

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of young children's development and learning has recently taken on new importance. Private and government organizations are developing programs to enhance the school readiness of all young children, especially children from economically disadvantaged homes and communities and children with special needs. Well-planned and effective assessment can inform teaching and program improvement, and contribute to better outcomes for children. This book affirms that assessments can make crucial contributions to the improvement of children's well-being, but only if they are well designed, implemented effectively, developed in the context of systematic planning, and are interpreted and used appropriately. Otherwise, assessment of children and programs can have negative consequences for both. The value of assessments therefore requires fundamental attention to their purpose and the design of the larger systems in which they are used. Early Childhood Assessment addresses these issues by identifying the important outcomes for children from birth to age 5 and the quality and purposes of different techniques and instruments for developmental assessments.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990, the National Education Goals were established by the President and the 50 state governors. Great attention has been given to Goal 1, dubbed the "readiness" goal: By the year 2000, all children in America will start school ready to learn. The Goal 1 Resource Technical Planning Groups were asked to suggest ways in which Goal 1 could be measured. The purpose of this document is to further amplify the dimensions of early learning and development used by the National Educational Goals Panel to measure progress toward Goal 1. The following five dimensions are discussed: (1) "Physical Well-Being and Motor Development"; (2) "Social and Emotional Development," serving as the foundation for relationships which give meaning to school experience; (3) "Approaches toward Learning," referring to the inclinations, dispositions, or styles that reflect ways children become involved with learning; (4) "Language Development"; and (5) "Cognition and General Knowledge." For each of the dimensions, a rationale; general definition; the relationship to individual, cultural, and contextual variation; and a summary are given. The report concludes with a discussion of underlying issues, implications, and action steps. (Contains 83 references.) (BGC)

Download or read book Helping Low Birth Weight, Premature Babies written by Ruth T. Gross and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year in the United States, 250,000 infants are born too soon, weighing too little. For these low birth weight, premature infants, the future is uncertain, since they are at risk for a variety of serious medical and developmental problemsincluding behavioral and learning disorders that may have damaging effects for the rest of their lives. The extent to which a comprehensive early intervention program could improve or prevent these adverse outcomes was examined in the Infant Health and Development Program, a randomized controlled trial involving almost 1,000 infants in eight cities in the United States. This book describes in detail the program, its research methodology, the progress of the program, and the results of the clinical trial. The program was administered by an interdisciplinary team composed of physicians, biostatisticians, child development specialists, and researchers from several disciplines. It was instituted upon the discharge of the infants from the neonatal nursery and was maintained for three years. One-third of the infants were randomly assigned to an intervention group, the remainder to a follow-up group. Infants in both groups received pediatric care and community referral services, but only those in the intervention group participated in a program that included extensive home visits, attendance at a child development center, and group meetings for parents. The results of the program proved to be clinically important; at age three, the children in the intervention group had significantly higher IQ scores, greater cognitive development, and fewer behavioral problems. The implications of the findings for public policy are equally important, for there is increasing interest in the prevention, early detection, and management of developmental disabilities in children, as evidenced by such legislation as the Education for All Children Act. Strategies to minimize the problems of low birth weight children, with their potential for long-term savings through the prevention of disabilities and their attendant costs, could have significant repercussions in such governmental areas as medical care, education, and social welfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "School Readiness," the first issue in "The Future of Children" publication, critically summarizes the research on the origin and trajectory of the racial and ethnic gap in the early years from several theoretical perspectives. In particular, the focus is on determining when these differences start to emerge, in what areas they appear, what factors contribute to their development by the time children enter grade school, and what can be done about them.
