Early childhood education programs can provide environmental enrichment that shapes children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. Evaluations of preschool programs like Perry Preschool, Abecedarian, Head Start, and state pre-K programs find that while standardized test score impacts may fade, the programs improve outcomes like high school graduation, earnings, and reduced crime. The effects likely operate through improving non-cognitive skills and the programs benefit the most disadvantaged children the most. Features like smaller class sizes, better-educated teachers, and higher-quality curricula and instruction seem to produce better results, positioning early education as a worthwhile social investment.

Geert Driessen (2019) Are the early childhood education claims valid?Driessen Research
Early Childhood Education (ECE) often is part of a broader educational disadvantage policy and offers institutional compensatory programs to young children who lack specific educational stimulation in the home environment. ECE typically aims on children from deprived socioeconomic backgrounds and those of immigrant origin. Although ECE nowadays is widespread and accepted as perhaps the most important means of preventing and combatting educational disadvantage, the controversy surrounding the evidence of effects and thus the justification and foundation of ECE provisions still is not solved. This article focuses on the basis (or lack of it) of ECE in the Netherlands.
Evidence suggests that developing specific core capacities from childhood can support performance in school, work, and life.
These nine “core capacities” are cornerstones of life skills. We often overlook these capacities as innate basic skills, so they are underutilized in efforts to promote child well-being and development.
But by nurturing, expanding, and modelling these capacities, children can better understand and interact with the world around them, and realise their unique potential.

The primary aims of restorative justice:
Where an injustice has been made, instead of making amends to the school through various forms of punishment, strategies are used that include both the offender and the victim with the aim of repairing the damage done to the relationship and help the accused learn from the situation.
Restorative justice addresses adolescent delinquency in social work and criminal justice, and schools who are willing to adapt their discipline programs.
Schools that have set in motion Restorative practices have experienced significant decreases in delinquency, suspensions, and reductions in repeat offenses and victimization of other students.
The implementation of the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 has highlighted the role that parents play in ensuring that their children are successful learners who grow into confident adults able to take up their roles as citizens and contribute effectively to society. Schools and parents need to work in partnership in order to achieve these ambitious aims.

Wouldn’t it be great if every child could participate in an early education program with evidence-based instruction, and receive appropriate levels of instructional interventions to achieve the best possible early academic and behavioral outcomes?
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)—a framework grounded in delivering evidence-based instruction of various intensity levels—can ensure that young children learn essential early academic and behavioral skills. In this edWebinar, discover how to successfully use a data-based decision-making process to match children’s needs with universal, strategic, or intensive instruction in a tiered model. Early education experts Judith J. Carta, Ph.D., and Robin Miller Young, Ed.D., NCSP, introduce MTSS as a system-wide, prevention-oriented framework for delivering efficient services and supports that meet the needs of all young children and their families.
In this recorded session, learn to:
- Articulate the MTSS framework’s core components that help improve outcomes for children and families and contrast these components with those that typically exist in early learning settings
- State how to use a data-based decision-making process to identify children who might need more intensive educational interventions and to monitor their progress during intervention
- Describe a multi-tiered intervention model for early learning programs
- Advocate for moving to an MTSS framework to drive change in early education across multiple system levels
This recorded edWebinar is ideal for all early childhood professionals. Learn how MTSS can help all young children achieve critical early learning outcomes and get ready for success in school.

Early Childhood Education programs aim at preventing educational delays associated with socio-ethnic disadvantage in the home environment of young children. Advocates claim that such programs can be effective, provided they are of high quality. Despite the investment of enormous budgets, the educational gap between socio-economically deprived families and their wealthier counterparts is still widening. The question therefore is justifiied whether these claims are justified. This article focuses on the internal and external validity of the most cited preschool program, the High/Scope Perry PreschoolProject, which was carried out between 1962 and 1967 in one school in Ypsilant, MI. Are the program's effects as reported by, e.g. Lawrence Schweinhart and James Heckman, reliable and valid? And is it really possible to generalize the findings of this so-called model program to other programs, target groups, settings and conditions, as is being claimed?

Documented efforts to enhance the development of children, especially to remediate the consequences of deprivation, have taken place since the early nineteenth century, when researchers learned that certain types of early experience were essential for the emergence of high intellectual functioning. More recently, studies of children in orphanages in the 1950s and 1960s initiated the investigation of what young children need to ensure healthy growth and development.

The guidelines pay particular attention
to the role of the family in early care and

Because high-quality programming cannot be
attained without attention to these topics in
all components of care, the topics are woven

Over half (58 percent) of California’s infants
and toddlers spend time in nonparental care.
A quarter of them (26 percent) are in full-time

1.1 The Benefits of Early Childhood EducationAccording to the Na.docxpaynetawnya
1.1 The Benefits of Early Childhood Education
According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the largest membership organization for early education professionals, there are more than 300,000 licensed or regulated early childhood programs in the United States (NAEYC, n.d.). This figure includes a variety of for-profit and nonprofit program types, such as child care centers, preschools, and family child care homes.
An early childhood care program is generally defined as an educational or child care service provided to young children, including infants through 5-year-olds and often also inclusive of older children in after-school programs. Such programs usually employ teachers or caregivers, as well as support staff such as kitchen workers or office assistants. The amount of time children spend in early childhood programs each day can vary from a few hours in a part-day preschool program to nine hours or more in a full-day child care center.
With rare exception, these programs are run by early childhood administrators. The work of early childhood administrators has a significant effect on the lives of young children and their families, because early childhood education plays an important role in the healthy development of children and sets the stage for academic achievement and future success.
Meeting the Needs of Children and Families
For many parents, the top priority in enrolling their child in an early childhood program is to find adequate child care services so they can continue to work outside the home. In the United States today, more than half of the mothers of children under age five are in the labor force (United States Department of Labor, 2008), and four out of five young children with employed mothers receive child care by someone other than their parents (Forum on Child and Family Statistics, 2010). Working parents may need flexibility in pick-up and drop-off times, some may need extended hours care, and all want care that is safe, high quality, and affordable.
Parents also enroll their children in child care or preschool programs for social and cognitive reasons. They may wish for their child to interact with other children, or they may seek to develop their child's school-readiness skills to help prepare him or her for kindergarten.
For children who are considered high risk for school failure, there are programs that provide targeted supports to help children develop language, literacy, and problem-solving skills. For example, publicly funded early childhood programs help children living in poverty who might not otherwise have access to early childhood programs prepare for kindergarten and later school success.
Positive Outcomes of High-Quality Care
The first five years of a child's life are a critical period of development. Children are learning essential cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and self-help skills necessary for success in school and in life. A growing body of research ...

The Positive Impact of an Early Childhood Education
Most people believe early intervention should start from the age of birth to eight years of age. While others believe early learning begins at age five. At this age children will enter into the cultural practice of formal learning (Education Encyclopedia- State University, n.d.). Early intervention programs are programs designed to help close the gap between children who aren't ready for the entrance into school. Especially those children who are considered to be at risk. Whatever, the age early intervention programs have proven to be an important aspect in the lives of many. Research has shown investing in early childhood education programs can benefit low soci-economic communities financially, prepare children from birth to age five for school and create productive and better citizens.
Early childhood education programs and centers can produce a revenue of over 900,000 dollars annually (Steglin, 2004). If a center were to open in a low income neighborhood, it would bring jobs and more money into that area. Also bringing a place that could provide cognitive learning and structure for young children. So investing as little as $1.00 in early education can mean major returns over a long or short period of time. This is the type of revenue that could revive a struggling community or state. Making an investment in early childhood education a wise investment for investors and for the communities involved.
## Investing in early childhood education programs can benefit a low soci-economic community in a variety of ways. Michigan's High Scope Perry Preschool Program is a prime example of a wise investment. Established in 1967, it is the second oldest federally funded preschool program in the United States and the most enduring early childhood intervention. The High Scope Perry Preschool program was initially implemented in four sites and later expanded to twenty-five sites. Each of these twenty-five sites were designed to provide families in high-poverty neighborhoods high quality early childhood programs (Temple, 2011). The overall goal of these centers were to promote children's academic success and to facilitate parent involvement in children's education.
## Over the years the High Scope Perry Preschool Program has served a number children from low-income families. The High Scope Perry Preschool Program has also been the influence of many studies through out the years. For example: In 2003, Rolnick and Grunewald research showed a thousand dollar investment in early intervention programs had a return of over nineteen thousand dollars in a twenty year time span. When the Stock Market Investments only showed a return of less than four thousand dollars in a twenty year time span. Resulting in a fifteen thousand dollar difference between the two investme ...

Program Design to Promote Social Goals in American K12 Schools
Explanation of Each Initiative
The three main initiatives of promoting social goals in school will include: promoting moral and character education, improving children’s health and nutrition, and creating school communities through extracurricular activities, after school programs, and school spirits (Rissanen et al. 2018). Comment by Evelyn Young: The 3 initiatives are clearly stated. Although did Rissanen et al. propose these 3 initiatives to promote social goals in schools? If these are your arguments, take credit for them. No need to give credit to Rissanen et al. for formulating the thesis for your paper.
I think that your paper could have used an introduction followed by the thesis statement.
Explanation of Each Initiative
Moral education is meant to promote good conduct among school-going children, not just within their immediate social relationships, but also in their dealings with their fellow citizens. This initiative is premised on the need for students to possess clear ideals and judgments on what action are right and what are wrong, including the determination of students’ conduct through a constant reference to those ideals. Moral education will be offered as a social goal to enlighten students on a system of rules and norms that regulate the social interactions of people on concepts of welfare, such as harm, trust, justice, and rights. For some students, issues related to values, personal feelings, and societal norms are constructs for discussions and are as such viewed as being influenced by the manner in which morality taught or experienced in schools, churches, and social institution settings. Moral education will be meant to reduce criminal and deviant behaviors among students. Moral character is required in schools because many parents do not teach their children morality issues.
The health and nutrition initiative is meant to improve the physical and mental well being of students. This initiative has the potential to improve the quality of students’ urban life, strengthen the ability of poor children to excel in their studies, and to compensate them for the substandard home and school environments spawned by competitive, inequitable social order. Health and nutritional initiatives will be strengthened through planning and introducing curriculum on nutrition with educational activities. These will include physical activities, which are combined with the farm to school programs that motivate students to consume healthy diets. Indeed, the hybrid school-based nutritional programs have major influence on attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with fruits and vegetable consumption diffused throughout a bigger urban community (Dudley Cotton & Peralta, 2015).

In the United States of America the demand for early childhood education and care programs continue to increase due to two reasons; high demand for out of home care for child and due to recognition that educational experience is very important during the early ages of development in a child (Blenkin, 2012). Research has indicated that high quality and appropriate early childhood set of programs lead to both short and long term positive impact on the child’s social and cognitive development. But with this understanding in mind, we see a program that is ill informed and with policies that are insufficient being imparted into the lives of the children. The programs that are existent in most cases have relied upon approaches that fragmented, and piecemeal to the complex matters that face children and their families at this early stage in their lives. Effective policies have not been frequently been funded at the most appropriate level in order to provide support to the families and the children (Gullo, 2014).
It is my belief that currently United States is at crossroads, and it is important that we must be able to come up with an integrated system of early childhood care and education which is made up of comprehensive approaches which directly brings together families and communities in the design, evaluation and implementation. It is important to invest in a child at an early age and be able to rip benefits that involve cost saving in the future. If we fail to make this investment on early child education, it means that we will be facing an uncertain future as America that will be at risk of increased delinquency, lowered levels of productivity, lower adults ready to be productive and less economic development (Blenkin, 2012).
Background of this paper
After suggesting above that the early education system in the United States might be lacking in one or two areas, one area in which I find the system to have a big problem is in formative assessment. It is important that we should understand that there is a relationship which exists between assessment in early childhood education and teaching and learning (Gullo, 2014).
i. Purpose
This is a paper that is created to make a review of issues in early childhood education and make proposal when it comes to formative assessment. The findings of this paper is intended to better the early childhood education in United States since it will be used in support of the development framework for the early education and learning (Gullo, 2014). This is a paper that is created in order to answer questions that are related to formative assessment in early childhood education.
ii. Curriculum relation to assessment
Features of curriculum such as degree of formality and informality cannot be s.
Parenting Styles and Academic Performance of Senior High School StudentsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The district-wide survey study examined the parenting styles and academic performance among
Grade 12 learners in Social Science amidst the CoViD-19 pandemic. The study involved two hundred forty-four
(244) parents as respondents. The study used descriptive research design through survey questionnaires as the
main instrument in gathering the required data. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were employed in the
computation, analysis, and interpretation of data. Results of the study revealed that most parent-respondents are
female, in their middle adulthood, with a minimum family and a number of children. Parents agree on the
parenting styles they do. The mean academic performance of Grade 12 learners in Social Science was "Very
Satisfactory". There was a significant difference in parents' parenting styles as to authoritarian style when
respondents were grouped according to age and family monthly income. There was a significant difference in
parents' parenting styles as to permissive style when respondents were grouped according to age. There was a
significant difference in parents' parenting styles as to authoritative style when respondents were grouped
according to the number of children in the family. There was a very low positive correlation between the
parenting styles of parents and the academic performance of Grade 12 learners in Social Science. Based on the
study's findings, parents may consider exploring appropriate parenting styles to motivate their children, and
parents are encouraged not to spoil their children. Parents are encouraged to attend any PTA meetings to show
support for their children's learning. The parents may consider equally practiced parenting styles as
authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative regardless of their profile. It may be possible to undertake a
comparative study with a bigger sample size of participants from various places to validate and enhance the
generalizability of the results.

The Urgent Need for School-based Primary Prevention Programsnoblex1
The prevalence of American youth who engage in antisocial and health-damaging behaviors is unacceptably high. 24% of American 10 to 17 year olds engage in multiple, interrelated social and health risk behaviors, such as delinquency and substance use. An additional 26% experiment with some risk behaviors. Such widespread involvement jeopardizes the development of young people who participate in such activities, and often negatively affects their peers, family members, and community.
Societal changes-such as dramatic alterations in family structures and stability, reduced amounts of support and guidance for young people by responsible adults, and changing demographics resulting in larger numbers of economically disadvantaged children entering school-increase the likelihood that children will behave in antisocial ways, both in and out of school. These problems are especially pronounced for young urban adolescents. Urban young people encounter a diverse array of health-damaging environmental stressors while growing up in economically disadvantaged communities. In addition, rapid bodily changes, cognitive maturation, and increased social pressures can profoundly influence, and in some instances, disrupt the psychological functioning of young adolescents. Furthermore, the transition from self-contained elementary-school classrooms to the less structured middle-school culture often introduces new problems and concerns to compound those connected with growing up.
Difficult societal conditions and the high prevalence of problem behavior among our young people have prompted numerous calls for school-based, primary prevention efforts to address young adolescents’ social and health needs. Clearly, the educational system offers the most efficient and systematic means available to enhance the positive development of large numbers of young people. In spite of a growing consensus regarding the urgent need for school-based primary prevention programs, there is less agreement about what constitutes the most appropriate prevention strategies or the extent to which such prevention programs have been effective.
To improve the quality of future school-based preventive interventions, researchers must evaluate well-conceptualized programs that are implemented with fidelity. Program conceptualization involves explicitly articulating the intermediate and distal outcomes a program intends to achieve, the intervention methods that will accomplish these objectives, and the models of behavioral change that guide the development of intervention strategies and practices. However, regardless of how well-conceptualized a program is, its potential for positive impact is lessened when program implementers have inadequate resources or time for effective program delivery; are poorly trained or supervised.

Professional dispositions have been defined as the “values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence behavior toward candidates, families, colleagues and communities and affect candidate learning, motivation and development as well as the educator’s own professional growth” (NCATE, 2000).
Dispositions can also be described as attitudes and beliefs about counseling, as well as professional conduct and behavior. Not all dispositions can be directly assessed, but aspects of professional behavior are assessed during classes and field experiences in counseling settings.
Review the Master of Science in Counseling Professional Dispositions.

Processes of Early Childhood Interventions to Adult Well-Being
Arthur J. Reynolds, Suh-Ruu Ou, Christina F. Mondi, and Momoko Hayakawa
University of Minnesota
This article describes the contributions of cognitive–scholastic advantage, family support behavior, and school
quality and support as processes through which early childhood interventions promote well-being. Evidence
in support of these processes is from longitudinal cohort studies of the Child–Parent Centers and other pre-
ventive interventions beginning by age 4. Relatively large effects of participation have been documented for
school readiness skills at age 5, parent involvement, K-12 achievement, remedial education, educational attain-
ment, and crime prevention. The three processes account for up to half of the program impacts on well-being.
They also help to explain the positive economic returns of many effective programs. The generalizability of
these processes is supported by a sizable knowledge base, including a scale up of the Child–Parent Centers.
Growing evidence that early childhood experiences
can improve adult well-being and reduce educa-
tional disparities has increased attention to preven-
tion (Braveman & Gottlieb, 2014; Power, Kuh, &
Morton, 2013). Early disparities between high- and
low-income groups are evident in school readiness
skills, which increase substantially over time in
rates of achievement proficiency, delinquency, and
educational attainment (Braveman ...

Detail notes:
● This article says that youth education has a lot to do with the economy. The economic
situation determines the level of education. Many young people are not affected by
education, and many methods are needed to implement cooperation between relevant
departments and local governments.
● Lower educational attainment among low-income individuals derives in large part
from the fact that many children from low-income families continue to lack access to
high-quality, well-resourced schools.
● As poverty rates grow, educators and social scientists are becoming increasingly
aware of how difficult it is for students living in poverty to achieve success in the
American educational system.

● At the same time, three quarters of Latino students who dropped out of high school or
did not pursue higher education report that they did so because they needed to work to
support their families. The majority of low-income youth ages 19 to 22 are not in
school; many of those youth are working, but at least a third are neither in work nor in
school.
● In addition, educators and policymakers need to better understand low-income
youth’s perspectives about the opportunities and barriers preventing them from
accessing, persisting, and completing their education.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

8. Programs Comparison
Head-start
• To enhance children's social and
cognitive development by providing
a comprehensive set of educational,
health, nutritional, and other social
services.
• Significant short-term gains in
participants' achievement test
scores, but appeared to fade over
time, impacts fade out more rapidly
for African-American children than
for white children.
• Significant in languages and literacy
areas, but few impacts on math
skills or on children's attention,
anti-social, or mental health
problems.
Pre-Kindergarten
• In 2011, 39 states and the District of
Columbia spent about $5.5 billion on
pre kindergarten initiatives that
collectively served approximately 28
percent of the nation's four-year-olds
and 4 percent of three-year-olds .
• Target low-income children and most
offer health, vision, and hearing
screenings as well as at least one
other form of support service.
• Short-run effects on achievement
test scores > Head Start
• Did not appear to affect
disobedience, apathy, aggression,
learning task problems, or problems
interacting with peers or teachers 8
10. The Puzzle
• Most early childhood education studies find that
effects on test scores fade over time.
• Shows an estimated decrease in program impact
effect sizes of about .03 standard deviations per
year.
• How do we reconcile the fade-out of preschool
program impacts on test scores have beneficial
impacts on a broad set of later-life outcomes like
high school graduation rates, teen parenthood,
and criminality?
10
11. • Preschool programs may affect something
other than basic achievement and cognitive
test scores, (like ‘skills begets skill’) and
perhaps these other program impacts, unlike
achievement and cognitive impacts, persist
over time.
11
12. Different Models of Human
Development
• Cunha and Heckman (2007) model implies that school
readiness is a product of the child's cognitive and socioemotional skills upon entry into the preschool period, plus
preschool-period investments from parents and possibly from
an early childhood education program
• Models of human capital development focus on how
individuals' endowments interact with environmental
experiences, and suggest that both individual capacities and
experience shape development.
• Ramey and Ramey's "compensatory model" (1998) posits that
preschool investments can function as a substitute for
enriched home environments.
12
13. Within Program Heterogeneity
Looking at the distribution of treatment
effects of given programs.
Data on treatment-effect heterogeneity may
also boost our understanding of human capital
development processes if they identify groups
that particularly benefit from the preschool
setting.
13
16. The Search for Active Program
Ingredients
• Class size and teacher education: affect
children indirectly.
• Children's actual experiences in early
childhood education programs, as “process
quality”: associations are positive if still
modest.
• Curriculum and related professional
development: instructional quality of most
preschool classrooms is poor.
16
17. Conclusions
Early education programs:
Improve children's school readiness,
specifically their pre-academic skills, although
the distribution of impact estimates is
extremely wide, and gains on achievement
tests typically fade over time.
Have lasting effects on children's later life
chances, improving educational attainment
and earnings and, reducing criminal activity.
