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 Outmoded theories, outdated facts, and undersized budgets all play a part in the uneven quality of early childhood programs throughout our country.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.

Download or read book Variations in Preschool Education and the Impact on First Grade Student Reading Achievement written by Sue Ellen Kanigsberg and published by . 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.

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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate if there was any significant difference in the reading portion of the Criteria Reference Criterion Test (CRCT) of first grade students who attend pre-kindergarten and those who didn’t in rural southwest Georgia. The study investigated the effect of pre-kindergarten achievement intervention of first grade students. Two educators gave first grade students reading instruction on the five components in a 135 minute reading block on a daily basis.The Georgia Pre-kindergarten Program was established in 1993 to provide the state’s 4-year-olds with high-quality preschool experiences. The Head Start program was developed in 1965 as a comprehensive early childhood development program designed to provide education, health, and social services to low-income children, ages 3 and 5, and their families. School Readiness is an educational issue of growing concern.

Book excerpt: Play is serious business. Whether it's reenacting a favorite book (comprehension and close reading), negotiating the rules for a game (speaking and listening), or collaborating over building blocks (college and career readiness and STEM), Kristi Mraz, Alison Porcelli, and Cheryl Tyler see every day how play helps students reach standards and goals in ways that in-their-seat instruction alone can't do. And not just during playtimes. "We believe there is play in work and work in play," they write. "It helps to have practical ways to carry that mindset into all aspects of the curriculum." In Purposeful Play, they share ways to: optimize and balance different types of play to deepen regular classroom learning teach into play to foster social-emotional skills and a growth mindset bring the impact of play into all your lessons across the day. "We believe that play is one type of environment where children can be rigorous in their learning," Kristi, Alison, and Cheryl write. So they provide a host of lessons, suggestions for classroom setups, helpful tools and charts, curriculum connections, teaching points, and teaching language to help you foster mature play that makes every moment in your classroom instructional. Play doesn't only happen when work is over. Children show us time and time again that play is the way they work. In Purposeful Play, you'll find research-driven methods for making play an engine for rigorous learning in your classroom.

Download or read book Effects of Teacher Educational Background and Experience on Student Achievement in the Early Grades written by James Alexander Leak and published by . 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.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there remains little doubt that the "founding" preschool programs in America--the High/Scope Perry Program, the Chicago Child-Parent Centers, and the Abecedarian Project--had a positive academic and social impact on the students they served, such claims are difficult to substantiate for students being served in the Virginia Preschool Initiative Program. This study was designed to investigate the educational impact of the state-funded preschool program on the academic achievement of at-risk students who attended school from 1999-2002. These students' third- and fifth-grade Standards of Learning tests, in the subject areas of mathematics and reading, were compared using T-tests and ANOVA calculations to determine if there existed any statistically significant differences in academic achievement. Results from the investigation did not find any significant differences in achievement between those students who attended preschool and those who did not. In fact, reading scores were higher for those female students who did not attend preschool.
