Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This present study examined parent and teacher views of school readiness and school transition (SRST) before as well as after children started kindergarten. Also studied were indicators of school readiness that parents and teachers thought contributed to successful or challenging transition outcomes for students. The current study also addressed the topic of home-school communication and how teachers and parents viewed the role of communication as it becomes more instrumental in the SRST process. This investigation occurred in a mid-western city located approximately 70 miles from a larger urban center. A purposeful sampling method was employed to ensure selection of informed participants who could provide accurate school readiness and transition information that addressed the purpose of the research foci. Using case study research as a systematic method to examine the SRST phenomena, eight parents participated in one semi-structured interview in the summer of 2011, and six parents from this original cohort participated in a second wave of interview discussions in the fall of 2011. Three kindergarten teachers were interviewed once in the fall of 2011 and also participated in a focus group interview in the winter of 2012. Open-and fixed- response questionnaires, which were developed based on current scientific evidence in the field of SRST, were also administered to both parents and kindergarten teachers. Findings in this study revealed across qualitative and quantitative data, that high quality, reciprocal adult-child interactions can help offset the harmful effects of school challenges sometimes experienced by children before and after they enter kindergarten. In addition, quality parent involvement and home-school relationships are important both before and after a child enters kindergarten. Findings may be instructive to educators and parents. School districts may administer this study's approaches to determine and then to advise parents and teachers on recommended SRST activities of children before and after kindergarten entry. Future research on parent and teacher views of school readiness and school transition (SRST) should recruit a larger number of participants and follow up on children and their families as they enroll in several school programs before and after school begins.

Book excerpt: Trends toward increased focus on academics in U.S. schools have impacted children's opportunity for play, and children are spending more time in kindergarten classrooms today than decades past. Kindergarten teacher views researched in this study provide insights about the availability of play areas, time spent on child-directed activities relative to teacher directed activities, and teachers' value of self-regulation readiness skills relative to academic readiness skills. I conducted a secondary analysis of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study - Kindergarten (ECLS-K 2010-2011), a large nationally representative data set, to examine public and private school sectors in the United States, controlling for teacher, school, and classroom characteristics. Additionally, I used an exploratory emergent design for a sub-study to compare the U.S. data with the Institute of Child Development Science Research (ICDSR) survey of Japanese early educators data set from 426 Japanese teachers. Kindergarten teachers in U.S. public schools provided less availability to play areas compared to other activity areas, and less time devoted to child-selected activities compared to teach directed activities than all other U.S. sectors and Japanese classrooms. However, kindergarten teachers in U.S. public schools placed similar value to other U.S. sectors on kindergarten academic readiness but higher value on self-regulation readiness skills than all other U.S. sectors and Japanese schools.

Book excerpt: This book looks at readiness from a different perspective, arguing that we must move away from the readiness-as-child characteristic so prevalent in education and the popular press. Instead, readiness is explained as an idea constructed by parents, teachers, and children as they interact in their neighborhoods and communities. Graue describes three communities in the same school district: a middle-class, suburban town of professionals; a rural, working-class community; and a group of Hispanic, working-class families making their way through their children's kindergarten experiences. In each setting, the local meaning of readiness is the underlying theme in the actions taken by parents and their attitudes about their children's first public school experience.

Download or read book Teaching Kindergarten written by Julie Diamond and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s kindergarten teachers face enormous challenges to reach district-mandated academic standards. This book presents a model for 21st-century kindergartens that is rooted in child-centered learning and also shaped by the needs and goals of the present day. Classroom teachers working with diverse populations of students and focusing on issues of social justice provide vivid descriptions of classroom life across urban and rural communities. Teacher reflections and commentary from the editors link teacher decisions to principles of good practice. Teaching Kindergarten illustrates how a progressive, learning-centered approach can not only meet the equity and accountability goals of the Common Core State Standards but go well beyond that to educate the whole child. Book Features: Rich examples of learner-centered teaching in diverse public school settings.Depictions of integrated curricula in science, social studies, math, arts, and language arts that address Common Core and other standards.Connections to recent developmental research and pedagogy.Programs promoting social and cultural awareness.Photographs of children’s projects and a list of children’s books. “The teachers you are about to read tell stories no one has heard before, at a time when it is difficult to hear the individual voices in the classroom. No grade level needs this soul-searching examination more than kindergarten. This book maps a remarkable number of journeys toward this goal. I hope teachers will be inspired to add their own voices to the process of renewal.” —Vivian Gussin Paley, internationally renowned educator, author, and classroom teacher “We need this book. It speaks eloquently to what good practice looks like in real schools, as well as what it means to be a good teacher. These are stories of amazing educators whose work addresses what equity is all about—starting with 5 year olds. It’s too bad the next 12 years of school are not more like these kindergarten classrooms.” —Deborah Meier, education activist, senior scholar at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Education

This book was released on 2006 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To examine the perceptions of center-based childcare provider and kindergarten teacher perceptions on school readiness, the Ready or Not survey was conducted. Childcare providers in this study placed more emphasis on academic readiness skills while kindergarten teachers placed more emphasis on social and behavioral skills. Results also indicated that participants believe that children's preschool experiences are important for school readiness and that children without disabilities tend to be more ready for kindergarten than children with disabilities. These findings advance present understanding of the differences in perceptions of childcare providers and kindergarten teachers on children's school readiness.

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)
