To enable educators, parents, and policymakers to make sound decisions about programs for young children, the Committee on Early Childhood Pedagogy was established in 1997 by the National Research Council to study a broad range of research on early learning and development and to explore the implications for the education and care of children ages 2 to 5, focusing on programs provided outside the home. This book examines the accumulated theory, research, and evaluation literature relevant to early care and education, and presents the Committee's recommendations. Following an executive summary and an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 presents research and theory on early development; examines research on the interdependence of cognitive, emotional, and social development; and explores literature on the importance of infants' and children's early relationships with adults. Chapter 3 examines functional and status characteristics that express themselves as variations in development. Chapter 4 addresses the issue of quality in out-of-home early childhood education, while chapter 5 explores curriculum and pedagogy, integrating research on early learning capabilities with research on general principles and approaches to early care and education. Chapter 6 deals with assessment, focusing on assessment to support learning. Chapter 7 looks at the preparation of early childhood teachers and caregivers, emphasizing the need for professionalization. Chapter 8 analyzes the need for program and practice standards to promote quality in early childhood education. Chapter 9 presents conclusions and recommendations related to professional development, educational materials, public policy, and research needs. Contains references for each chapter. Standards for scientific methods are appended. (KB)

Susan Daffron talks to Trisha Wooldridge from the Bay State Equine Rescue in Massachusetts about a horse named Bay State Breeze who is available for adoption. Breeze is a year old and was rescued as a foal along with her mother and father from an extremely neglectful situation where she was confined in an small area that wasn't cleaned. However with all the tender loving care and attention she has received at Bay State Equine Rescue, she is blossoming into a gorgeous young horse. Initially, she was afraid of people, but Breeze has learned to trust again. As you can see from the photo, she is a beautiful bay color. According to Trisha, as Breeze gets older, she is also developing great appaloosa spots along her rump so she's going to have striking markings when she reaches maturity. Because Breeze is a yearling, she needs a new owner who understands that young horses need leadership. Breeze has a tremendous amount of potential, and her new owner will need to be firm yet patient to give Breeze the training she needs.

The "Eager to Learn" inservice training television series was designed to help teachers use, as part of their individual teaching strategies, seven enabling behaviors: structuring, problem focusing, accepting, clarifying, facilitating, deliberate, silence, and modeling. Over 200 elementary school teachers participated in the series which consisted of six half-hour televised lessons. The evaluation design analyzed teacher comprehension of the behaviors, their attitudes toward them, their use of the behaviors in the classroom, and the students' attitudes toward teacher-student interaction. The evaluation was conducted by questionnaire. The results of the evaluation showed that the series had demonstrated its ability to change teachers' understanding of the enabling behaviors as well as to significantly increase the frequency with which four of the seven behaviors were used in the classroom.
