Extractions: March 6, 2003 Washington, D.C. - The House Subcommittee on Education Reform, chaired by Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE), today heard testimony on the impact of the Head Start program in preparing disadvantaged children for school. Promoting school readiness and improving results for children served by Head Start will be top priorities as Congress prepares to reauthorize the Head Start program this year. Recognizing the important relationship between the quality of a childs early experiences and their readiness for school, states and schools are focusing greater attention on the cognitive and social development of young children before they enter kindergarten, said Castle. Head Start and other early childhood education programs are often the first line of defense in ensuring that children attain the fundamental skills necessary for optimal reading development and overall school readiness.

The YMCA Childcare Partnership will serve 60 preschool children this summer at Thurgood Marshall, Concord, and Cooper Schools. At these sites, a Family Service Provider will work with families to assist with their social service needs. Head Start provides curriculum materials and supplies for all preschool children at these three school sites. Preschool children at these sites will also participate in a summer field trip. Students already enrolled at these sites have priority for summer enrollment. Kindergarten Transition Head Start teachers and Family Service Providers will conduct home visits in May and June for families with preschool children. They will discuss with these families their plans for kindergarten transition for their preschool children, or whether it is appropriate to re-enroll their children in Head Start for another year. Educational packets will be given to 446 families of preschool children, to help the children maintain their skills over the summer vacation, prior to entering kindergarten. These packets will include scissors, pencils, crayons, language arts cards, and an educational activity guide.

As a result, students reach Seattle Public Schools with a wide range of experiences and capabilities. Some are well prepared to learn in kindergarten. Others are not. Children entering kindergarten come from increasingly diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, social, economic and language backgrounds. Many kindergartners now come from single-parent families and from stepparent families. They also differ in the level and types of early care and educational experiences they have had. Schools are expected to meet the educational needs of every child regardless of their background and experience. (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics

http://www.odedodea.edu/instruction/curriculum/ece/overview.htm

Extractions: Sure Start is committed to providing the highest quality preschool education for eligible children of families living at military installations overseas. Like the Head Start model on which it is based, Sure Start is dedicated to providing comprehensive services in the areas of education, health, social services, and family involvement. Close collaboration between families, schools, and the community is seen as essential. Sure Start is founded on the principles of developmentally appropriate practice, as supported by research. Accordingly, the program is philosophically committed to the tenets of child growth and development that stem from the works of Piaget, Erikson, Vygotsky, and Gardner, among others. Through its comprehensive approach to meeting the whole needs of children and families, Sure Start is wedded to the belief that "risk is not destiny." With a Sure Start education, children can develop the social competence and disposition needed for productive, lifelong learning. Enrollment Eligibility Sure Start is a program for command sponsored dependents. It is primarily a program for qualified four year olds. (The child must turn four years old by October 31 of the current school year.) Children qualify for Sure Start based on family dynamics which may put the child "at risk":

Extractions: Thursday, March 25, 2004; Page GZ06 Remember that big flap about Head Start last year? The one where the county school system was going to have to spend half its Head Start money just on seat restraints and bus monitors to comply with new federal rules, leaving hardly any money for the actual you know Head Start? Well, the problem has faded into nothingness. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) introduced legislation that would compel the U.S. government to pay for Head Start transportation. That bill went nowhere last year and may go nowhere again this year. But in the meantime, a provision was put into the Health and Human Services bill (under which Head Start is funded) that allows local Head Start programs to apply for a waiver from the seat restraint rule if they meet local transportation regulations. Maryland regulations permit school buses to operate without seat belts or other restraints.

The new report, known as Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES), also noted small but significant gains among High/Scope classroom students in letter-word identification skills and greater cooperative classroom behavior than those exposed to other curricula. These are among many findings reported in a new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study, which was developed to explore Head Start effects on children's achievement and behavior, including type of curriculum, teacher salaries and educational background, and classroom quality. Overall, researchers found that Head Start programs that use an integrative curriculum, such as the High/Scope Curriculum, have higher quality and that use of such a curriculum is linked to greater gains in children's cognitive and social-emotional development.

Extractions: My first field experience was at William Penn Elementary School in the Bethlehem Area School District, with Mrs. Joanne Jones. I was given the opportunity to be a part of her second grade classroom throughout the spring of 2003. Mrs. Jones was an amazing cooperating teacher. Her teaching styles were unique, fun, and creative. The organization and control she had in her classroom were truly amazing. Mrs. Jones was the perfect model for the teacher I would like to become. Throughout my time at William Penn , I assisted students with seatwork, read stories, taught various spelling lessons, and graded homework. In addition, I learned about academic standards, lesson plans, and other work that goes along with being a teacher. Head Start Tutor: Although I have only had one early field experience, I have been working with children in other ways. I was a Head Start tutor during the fall of 2000 as part of my required writing course. Volunteering at the Head Start at Northampton Area Community College was undoubtedly a fulfilling experience. The students in my classroom were absolutely amazing. There is a strict routine that the students follow each morninghang coats in a cubby, place lunches in the kitchen, prepare breakfast, and wash hands. There were various centers around the classroom that allowed sutdents to explore the world, using all the five senses. For example, there were audio clips that described each state in the United States, with a touch of a button.
