Ready Kids: Building a Strong Network for Kentucky's System of #Oral Health CareKYOralHealthCoalition
Good #oral health is critical to good overall heath and while tooth decay and other dental diseases can have long lasting impacts on long-term health and employability, millions of Americans go without needed dental care because they can’t find a dentist, can’t afford care, lack dental insurance, or are unaware of the importance of dental care.

The Benevolent Society has released a report to mark its 200th Anniversary that sounds a serious warning about the wellbeing of Australia’s children, and unsustainable future costs to fix social problems which can be prevented by more investment in support for families during children’s early years. http://bit.ly/acting_early_report
“In dealing with increasing problems such as crime, obesity, anti-social behaviour, child abuse and mental illness, our governments are stuck in a cycle of reacting too late when it’s more costly and less effective,” said The Benevolent Society CEO Anne Hollonds.
The report, Acting Early, Changing Lives: How prevention and early action saves money and improves wellbeing was commissioned by The Benevolent Society, Australia’s first and longest running not-for-profit organisation, and prepared by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. http://bit.ly/acting_early_report

As part of Together for Healthy and Successful Schools, America’s Promise will extend a new funding opportunity to communities seeking to create healthier school environments for all children. Recognizing that school-centered health intersects with many areas outside of education—housing, employment, transportation, and food access— efforts should serve as a hub for cross-sector collaboration, youth and community engagement, and broader policy and systemic change.
Three to five existing districts and/or community-level organizations will be selected to receive up to $150,000 each per year for two years (for a total of up to $300,000) to support collaborative efforts that display alignment with this vision and a proven ability to accelerate positive change for young people in schools and their communities.

Speaker: Dr. Karen Mapp, Senior Lecturer on Education – Harvard Graduate School of Education
Join Dr. Anthony Levinson and Kalpana Nair, PhD from McMaster University as they discuss the Early Years Check-In (EYCI) and its companion web-based resource, Play&Learn. Designed for parents of children 18 months to 6 years of age, the EYCI helps parents quickly identify any concerns they may have about their child’s development across four domains: social and emotional, language, movement, and thinking and learning. The EYCI can be used as a discussion aid to foster dialogue about early child development between parents and practitioners providing early years services, creating opportunities to build relationships as well as provide education and support to parents to foster their child’s development.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

4. What we asked
• Study
assessed
parents’
percep/ons
and
experiences
around
the
formal
services
and
supports
available
to
parents
and
their
children
• How
important
parents
find
these
supports
• How
aware
parents
are
of
the
range
of
supports
• How
frequently
parents
use
these
supports
• Barriers
(prac/cal,
social,
cultural
or
other)
parents
face
• Other
sources
of
(informal)
supports
parents
use
in
their
role
as
parents
5. • We
Who we asked
sought
'all
parents'
in
this
work,
not
exclusively
those
who
are
ac/vely
engaged
with
various
programs
and
services,
but
also
those
who
are
not.
• This
work
adopted
a
popula/on
health
approach:
• While
low
income
families
or
those
with
special
needs
o]en
face
a
dispropor/onate
burden
of
challenges,
the
greatest
number
of
parents
who
struggle
comes
from
the
wider
popula/on
• We
are
commi^ed
to
improving
outcomes
for
all
parents
and
children,
including
a
commitment
to
providing
focused
efforts
to
those
groups
in
need
of
special
considera/ons
6. • Analysis
What we did with their answers
was
conducted
through
a
series
of
sta/s/cal
models
(mul/level
logis/c
regression
models)
• Regression
models
are
methods
of
using
all
the
informa/on
you
have
about
your
par/cipants
to
understand
how
the
parental
characteris/cs
are
working
together.
This
is
very
different
than
looking
at
tables
that
contain
basic
raw
counts
of
the
responses
• All

controlled
for:
household
income

immigra/on

7. Key Overall Findings

most
important
parental
characteris1cs
are

8. Barriers and Usage Rates
Among Newcomers
In
general,
newcomer
parents
tend
to
have
their
highest
levels
of
program
and
service
usage
within
their
first
year
in
Canada.
Their
usage
levels
drop
gradually
as
they
are
in
Canada
for
more
extended
periods
of
/me.
These
drops
in
usage
cannot
be
a^ributed
to
the
aging
of
the
children.
