A Bizarro World for Infants and Toddlers and Their Teachers
Get PDFA bizarro world reverses our everyday realities. You may be familiar with the concept if you have ever read DC Comics or watched Seinfeld. In the bizarro world I envision for our nation’s infants and toddlers, family income does not determine whether their parents can afford to take time off work in the first months of their lives nor their right to high quality early care and education. In every infant-toddler program, whether offered in a center or home, staff are steeped in the science of child development and early learning pedagogy, and can depend on good wages and working conditions
I Want To Know Why
Get PDFIn this article, an early childhood coach and her mentor coach tell one story of their year of joint reflective work together. They follow the topic of outdoor play in birth-to-three and early childhood family-based care programs as it surfaced at the beginning of the year. This inquiry expanded into the coach’s burgeoning understanding of the meaning of experience for very young children, which became a parallel process in the coach’s work with practitioners. Together, the coach and mentor coach describe the ways in which they created a more authentic and meaningful way to think about outdoor time and environments for young children and how Bank Street’s developmental-interaction approach could inform the coach\u27s practice with early care practitioners
Getting it Right From the Start: A Retrospective and Current Examination of Infant-Toddler Care in Jamaica
Get PDFDespite acknowledging that early childhood spans from birth to eight years, in Jamaica, similar to many other developing countries, predominant interest in early childhood care and education has typically been centred on the education children three to six years receive rather than the care of infants and toddlers. With the current thrust towards improving access to childcare in Jamaica it warrants an examination of the sector and the issues affecting infants/toddlers and the persons who care for them.
Guided by the findings of the ground breaking 1993 UNICEF funded report which evaluated the state of nursery care in Jamaica, this conceptual study examines strides that have been made in infant and toddler care. With the goal to juxtapose the state of nursery care then and now, four key issues which have implications for the sustained development of Jamaica’s infant and toddler programming; funding of the sector, professional development of nursery staff, parent education and improving child outcomes, were examined. This examination of the state of nursery care is done with the view to consider possible solutions to some of the challenges by considering the ways other economically similar neighbouring countries have tackled them

Process & Research of Dyslexia? A Book on the Demystification of Dyslexia for Students with Dyslexia
Get PDFThis paper focuses on the ways in which the demystification of dyslexia for diagnosed or pre- diagnosed students alters their ability to self-advocate. It examines effective ways of demystification and, specifically, how literature can be used to directly teach children how to talk about their difference. This review of research highlights positive and negative effects of providing students with learning disability labels. It also notes that the majority of studies on the subject show that providing students with a label for their learning variations positively impacts self-esteem and academic engagement. However, it is noted that a dearth of children’s literature is available that normalizes students with learning variations. With the intent to design a book that provides a resource for students that addresses social and academic concerns, this paper also explores ways in which design—text formatting, layout, visuals, and audio aids— can help students with dyslexia read independently
From Page to Place: Wordless Picture Books and Field Trips for a 21st Century Curriculum
Get PDFWith the purpose of education being to produce successful world citizens, the educational system must grow with the changing economic and social climate. Operating in a creative and knowledge-based economy, students educated in the 21st Century must be in an environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and recognition of complex patterns in order to thrive in the new economic structures. Proposing a curricular sequence using wordless picture books and field trips to develop and strengthen these skills, this paper focuses on the growth of literacy in all forms as the strongest foundation for creating curious and life-long learners. Utilizing the same skill sets, elementary aged children use wordless picture books in the same fashion that older children use field trips: to closely observe details, engage in discourse with peers, and connect curiosity for their own world with their academic discoveries
