Book Description
How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.

Creating Better Child Care Jobs
Author: Publisher: Child Care Workforce
ISBN: 9781889956152
Category : Child care workers
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
This document presents model work standards articulating components of the child care center-based work environment that enable teachers to do their jobs well. These standards establish criteria to assess child care work environments and identify areas to improve in order to assure good jobs for adults and good care for children. The standards are divided into 13 categories: (1) wages; (2) benefits; (3) job descriptions and evaluations; (4) hiring and promotions; (5) termination, suspension, severance, and grievance procedures; (6) classroom assignments, hours of work, and planning time; (7) communication, team building, and staff meetings; (8) decision and problem solving; (9) professional development; (10) professional support; (11) diversity; (12) health and safety; and (13) physical setting. Some standards are considered essential for child care centers to be recognized as providing a good adult work environment, directly impact the quality of care, or were repeatedly emphasized by teachers, directors, and others. Some standards indicate two possible levels of quality, a high-quality level and a striving level. Appendices include notes for teachers, directors, parents, and boards of directors who are using the model work standards; information on the "essential" model work standards; methods for calculating a self-sufficiency or living wage for a particular community; and an action plan work sheet.
