"Those children who arrive at school lacking relevant experience and vocabulary — they see not, neither do they understand. They fall further and further behind. A good, academically focused preschool program can overcome the egregious academic differences that currently develop between social classes in American schools." The Schools We Need Excellence and Fairness Age Groupings Coherent Content Teaching Approaches ... to the Excellence and Fairness The Preschool Sequence is offered as another practical step toward the Core Knowledge Foundation's goal of promoting greater excellence and fairness in early education. Internationally, the most successful educational systems teach a core of knowledge in the early grades. Only by explicitly specifying the competencies and knowledge that all children should share can we guarantee equal access to those competencies and knowledge. In our current system, disadvantaged children especially suffer from low expectations that often translate into "waiting until they are ready" and watered-down curricula. When expectations are made explicit, however, disadvantaged children, like all children, are exposed to a coherent core of challenging, interesting competencies and knowledge. This background not only provides a foundation for later learning, but also makes up the common ground for communication in a diverse society.

Home About Contact Us Site Map ... Service Secondary Education, Preschool, Kindergarten and Elementary Teacher Careers, Jobs, and Training Information Career and Job Highlights for Preschool, Kindergarten, Elementary and High School Teachers Public school teachers must meet three requirements before teaching: receive licensure in their state, complete an approved teacher education program, and have no less than a bachelor’s degree. Alternative licensing programs are offered in numerous States, especially for positions that are hard to fill, to draw people into the teaching profession. There will be plenty desirable job openings as many teachers retire over the next ten years, most notably at the secondary school level. These job opportunities will somewhat vary depending on the geographic location of the school and subject area being taught. Career Overview for Secondary Education Teachers As they try different methods to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as math, history, or science, teachers facilitate interactive discussions and activity-based approached learning. To help children grasp abstract concepts, solve queries, and develop critical thinking skills, they may use “manipulatives” or “props”. Teachers may use more sophisticated materials with older children such as computers, science equipment, or other electronics. Students work in groups and attempt to solve problems together as more and more teachers place emphasis on collaboration. This trend results conscience efforts made by educators to prepare students for the workforce. Students must be able to work with their peers, adjust to changing technology, and have logical reasoning skills to be ready for the transition into the work place. Students develop these skills in the environment established by their teacher.

Home Newsroom EDC Feature Articles August 2000 Preschool Scientists A Tool Kit for Early Childhood Science Education I n preschool classrooms around the world, children build structures with blocks, knock them over, and start again. In Cindy Hoisington's Head Start classroom in Roslindale, Massachusetts, children also build with blocks. But before they get the pleasure of watching their structures tumble, her students are documenting what they've built. Sometimes they photograph the structures; sometimes they draw them with paper and pen; and sometimes they create small-scale replicas of their large structures with foam blocks and glue. "The point is to get the kids to look at their buildings through a scientific lens, to consider the scientific properties of their structures," explains Hoisington. "The pictures provide us with a visual way to reflect back. So we've been asking questions like, how come this tower stands up and the one you made before didn't? Which way do you place the blocks to make the structure stable? How many cylinders have you used in this structure? How many in that? What would happen if we tried to build this with foam blocks instead of wood?" Hoisington and her students are undertaking this scientific exploration as part of a unique curriculum development project known as the Tool Kit for Early Childhood Science Education. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Tool Kit project brings preschool teachers together with educators at EDC to develop a full set of quality science materials for preschool classrooms. At the end of the four-year project, the staff will also draft a set of national standards for preschool science education.

NASP , Vol. 32, #6 March 2004 Early Literacy Skills Development Minneapolis Public Schools Young children are eager and ready to learn.  Current research emphasizes the importance of teaching young children the fundamental skills that lead to literacy.  While our focus is on the development of early literacy skills that are tied to language development,  best practice is to teach young children in such a way that all the important early childhood developmental domains-language, concepts, social, emotional, and motor skills-are integrated and linked with children's background and prior knowledge.  Because literacy competence opens the doors for all other academic learning, preschool and kindergarten children should receive instruction in emergent literacy skills to help ensure later success in school. Foundational Skills It is well established that, upon entering kindergarten, children's skill levels vary dramatically-some children have well-developed language and social skills while others do not.  Current research suggests that quality early experience can reduce the gaps that frequently exist for children from less advantaged circumstances, and can lead to improved language and literacy outcomes for the long term. Fundamental language skills that lead to emergent literacy include phonological awareness, print awareness and vocabulary. Phonological awareness . Understanding that spoken words are made of individual sounds is an important foundational skill for literacy and should develop in early childhood. Knowing that the word "ball" is made of three sounds

@import url(http://www.iamforkids.org/campaign/template/master.css); All Categories Newspaper Articles Campaign Updates Preschool Predicament Date Published: July 19, 2005 TAMPA - At the same time Florida launches its voluntary prekindergarten program, it's pulling the plug on scholarships for child care workers to get the credentials they need to teach. Those already enrolled in programs through the federally funded T.E.A.C.H scholarships may keep their scholarships, said Gladys Wilson, deputy director of Florida's Office of Early Learning. But June 30 was the application cutoff, prompting concern from some. ``That's crazy,'' said Simone Johnson, owner of EduCare Academies Child Development Center in Tampa. ``Many workers won't be able to get formal training without that scholarship.'' Johnson is completing her Child Development Associate equivalency credential on the T.E.A.C.H. scholarship and said some of her preschool center employees have done the same. Students pay 20 percent of the cost to earn the credential. Employers pay 10 percent, and the scholarship picks up the rest of the cost, which can total more than $1,200. ``It would really be hard for an employee to pay the entire cost,'' Johnson said. ``Many workers don't even have their own car.''

Curriculum Models The term curriculum model refers to an educational system that combines theory with practice. A curriculum model has a theory and knowledge base that reflects a philosophical orientation and is supported, in varying degrees, by child development research and educational evaluation. The practical application of a curriculum model includes guidelines on how to set up the physical environment, structure the activities, interact with children and their families, and support staff members in their initial training and ongoing implementation of the program. Curriculum models should be central to any discussion of early childhood programs. Curriculum models are essential in determining program content and in training and supervising staff to implement high-quality programs. In order to provide a preschool program of the highest quality, it is necessary to adopt a research-based curriculum model. The following are curriculum models validated by research. Curriculum Models Principles Creative Curriculum is used by Head Start, child care, preschool, prekindergarten and kindergarten programs.
