Book

Sustaining early childhood learning gains : program, school, and family influences

Reynolds, Arthur J., editor, Temple, Judy A., editor

Overview

\"This volume emphasizes not only key interventions and practices over the first decade of life that promote healthy development but elements and strategies through which learning gains can be enhanced by schools, families, communities, and public institutions. Scaling and expansion of effective programs also are considered. The approaches and principles covered in the volume that show evidence of enhancing learning gains include: (a) program dosage and quality, (b) teacher background, curriculum, and instruction, (c) preschool to 3rd grade (P-3) continuity and alignment, and (d) school quality and family support. Lessons from long-term studies since the 1960s and from current practices will be described to help move the field forward. Most current programs financed by states and school districts have few of the key elements of the landmark studies. Child to staff ratios are usually 20:2. Family services and expectations for parent involvement are minimal\"-- Provided by publisher.
