Snow, Kyle. “Research News You Can Use: Family Engagement and Early Childhood Education.” http://www.naeyc.org/content/research-news-family-engagement. This article reports about how the expectations that families had for their children entering kindergarten had changed from the years 1993 and 2007. The research showed that families from 1993 had fewer expectations of their children than those in 2007. Interestingly, families had not changed most of their instructional habits at home. The difference between 1993 and 2007 was having the children go to an educational facility, not just a babysitting service. Another aspect of the research investigated the children that went to head start and the correlation with parents having a greater amount

    According to the ACLU (May 2013) the School to Prison Pipeline refers to the policies and practices that funnel our nation’s students out of classrooms and into the juvenile and justice system. The pipeline is a reflection of the the priority of incarceration over education, and starts with inadequate resources in public schools. High stakes testing, over policing, and poor zero tolerance and suspension practices all perpetuate the pipeline. Al Jazeera America (2014) writes of the disparities between African-American and Latino youth in schools. Racial minorities appear to bear the brunt of zero-tolerance policies and out-of-school suspensions.…

    James J. Heckman, in his (and Pedro Carniero’s) book Inequality in America: What Role for Human Capital Policies?, is correct in stating that tuition policies are not the major issue in completing education when it comes to low-income families but rather the child’s experiences and skill-development in their early years. Word for word, he is quoted as saying “We cannot rely on tuition policy applied in the child’s adolescent years, job training, or GED programs to compensate for the neglect the child experienced in the early years” (qtd in Spring 104). Many case studies highlight the importance of preschool, which Joel Spring summarizes in American Education as, “[Preschool is] designed to give children from low-income families a head start…

I did notice when my son went to transitional kindergarten that what was expected from him was what a kindergarten back then would be learning. When he went to kindergarten he was expected to know more than what I remember was required before.…

    The article I have chosen to read was Disappearing Act by Michael Gurian. This article specifically focused on how the male attendance at universities and higher learning institutions has changed dramatically over the years. For example, up until the late 1800’s women were not able to further their education. Perhaps the author wrote this article because he wanted to bring it to the audience’s attention about how the drop in male attendance has been increasing over the past couple years. But in order to get a better understanding we will first discuss issues that can be seen from the early school years, then we will look at what the universities and institutes were like then and finally, we will see what the universities and institutes look…

    An education institution is an accredited facility where children receive a formal education to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to excel as an adult. As citizens of the United States, we have the right to equal education no matter our race, ethnicity, religion or economic status. However, Clayton County Schools and many other predominately Black schools in Georgia do not receive the same education that is provided to their white counterparts.

    assessments conducted in kindergarten, grade two, grade three, and grade four to determine if the two groups varied in any way. The researchers also conducted follow-up interviews with the kindergarten teachers to get their views about the classes, curriculum, and the findings of the study. These interviews lasted 30-60 minutes, and were videotaped. The findings of the study revealed that while gender was not statistically significant up until the end of grade one, the differences in reading and math between full-day kindergarten and half-day kindergarten were statistically significant up until that point.…

    I am becoming an adult in a society where there is a constant fear of the type of society my children will one day grow up in. Dreaming constantly of a world where all kids have to do is play outside endlessly until they have to attend kindergarten. Hence wishing that children did not need to know how to use technology until they are in middle school. Despite all the dreaming and wishing we must all face the inevitable truth that our world is constantly changing and we must all adjust. Children are now required to have a higher level of knowledge upon beginning elementary school.…

    My career experiences within the EC field created an understanding of how dynamic professionals, families, and children can have on early childhood education. My professional philosophy derives from my awareness and compassion on how we should encourage all children to develop and achieve different developmental milestones regardless of the variety of variables and circumstances that they may or may not have control over. As an early childhood professional who has worked within this field for the past 15 years, I endured a multitude of every changing professional that are on their way towards creating a profession that everyone can rely on and respect.
