Celebrating International Literacy Day, September 8, 2002 : Teach the Mothers and Reach The Children August 22, 2002 Thomas G. Sticht International Consultant in Adult Education Traditionally, nations have emphasized the education and literacy development of boys and men. The failure to focus resources on girls and women shows itself in the international literacy statistics compiled by UNESCO . From 1980 to 1995, the illiterate population of men fell from 327 to 318 million, while the numbers of illiterate women grew from 551 to 565 million (Aksornkool, 2001). Typically, providing educational services to adults stimulates a greater interest on the part of parents, especially mothers, to become involved with the education of their children. Research by Wider Opportunities for Women WOW trains welfare mothers in the work skills needed for higher paying, non-traditional jobs for women, such as carpentry. WOW also teaches women reading and mathematics skills using materials from the jobs for which they are training. In their research on how a mother's education affects behavior with her children, they found that as a result of their participation in the job training and basic skills programs mothers spent more time with their children talking about school, helping with homework, reading with their children, going to and helping with school activities and they talked more with teachers about their children's education. The WOW mothers also reported that their children liked and attended school more, and they showed improvements in their school grades, test scores, and reading.

Please update your bookmark for this page to http://www.illinoishouse.org/a08.htm Preschool Education There are probably as many approaches to educating preschool-aged children as there are preschool families everything from unschooling to rigidly structured, intensively academic, strictly curriculum-based instruction. But you want the best approach, right? Alack and alas! There is no guaranteed, sure-fire approach to successful preschool education. In truth, the very definition of "success" (i.e., the desired mixture of language, numerical, cognitive, artistic, musical, gymnastic, social, emotional, spiritual, etc.! achievement) varies from one family to the next and "best" depends on your child's needs, interests, and abilities as well as your own desires, philosophies, strengths and weaknesses, and resources. (And, a word of warning any document that you read on this subject, including the one you are currently reading, will be biased by the author(s)' own attitudes and beliefs. Below are some tips to get you started: Relax! Legally, there are no requirements. Your child does not have to be in school until eons from now at the ripe old age of seven (see Illinois Annotated Code Section 26-1 (1981)). Socially, even with the proliferation of preschool programs today, it is quite acceptable to do absolutely nothing formal in the way of preschool education for your child. You might well imagine that preschool programs exist because of some proven advantage that such programming provides a child, but the truth is that two of the major factors in the current rise of preschool education in this country have little to do with their effectiveness for children such as yours who are growing up in what are probably intellectually stimulating environments (if you are concerned enough to be reading this).

SITE MAP Embedding Prompting Strategies in Inclusive Preschool Classes by Mark Wolery Investigator and Fellow Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill To implement successful instruction in inclusive classes, teachers must know four things: what to teach, what instructional strategies to use, when to teach, and whether their teaching is working. They also must act on that knowledge. Many of the studies evaluating instructional strategies and practices for young children with disabilities occurred in actual classroom settings, often in inclusive classes. Some of the research used classroom teachers as the persons who implemented the strategies, and some of the studies focused on children's individual IEP goals. Nearly all of the studies used single-subject experimental designs, direct observation of child behavior, and careful implementation of procedures. Most produced unambiguous results. As a limitation, the studies often focused on a narrow range of child outcomes and used only part-day implementation. The time delay procedures and the system of least prompts have been studied more extensively than simultaneous prompting, graduated guidance, and most-to-least prompting with preschoolers who have disabilities.

One of the first things to do is find a quiet space to do the activities with your child with child sized chairs, table, bookcase for books and supplies, and a small area rug . Make a firm date and time every week or day to do the activities. Try to stick to your schedule. You can use some of these activities for a playgroup. Make sure the family takes a field trip at least once a month. A great book to prepare you for the Montessori method of education is Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. It is a delightful fictional account of the Montessori philosophy used in the life of a misunderstood girl. It’s probably even at your local library. It is really insightful to the approach that we will be using. Most of all, believe in yourself. Parents are natural teachers!

I don't know if this news is still current, since there's been a lot of changes at the Henson Company since January. But shows in development are always a roll of the dice anyway, so here it is. ] Jim Henson Television has decided to give the world an inside look into what made Kermit the reptile he is today. Jim Henson's Frog School is a live action/Muppet preschool comedy (with some short animated segments) that centers around Kermie's adolescent years at Frog School, where his education was based on an ancient frog philosophy stressing virtue and responsibility for one's actions towards others and the environment. Jim Henson's daughter Lisa will serve as executive producer on the 26 x half-hour series, which is budgeted at between $350,000 and $400,000 per episode. Animated sequences illustrate fables and myths from around the world that are used to teach the reptilian students about life outside the swamp. The project is part of a new Henson curriculum focus guided by an educational advisory board established to help the company follow through on its assertion that TV can change people's lives, says Juliet Blake, president of Jim Henson Television US. Henson is hoping to carve a niche with preschool shows that tackle school readiness, Blake explains, from both an emotional and curriculum perspective. She likens

Assistive Technology PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPIST (PT) Physical Therapists are trained to help your child develop or improve balance and movement, especially the large muscle groups used for crawling, climbing and rolling (gross motor skills). Physical Therapists use tools like big therapy balls, floor mats, bolsters, swings and toys. They encourage pretend play, which is also a developmental skill. Your child benefits when you use these movements and techniques at home in the course of your day. Private practices are listed in your phone directory under Physical Therapy. PTs are available through hospital therapy units or private rehabilitation medical practices. Physical Therapy is part of the Early Intervention/Infant Learning Program. If you want to enhance your current program, or are on a wait list, you can ask them for a referral to a private PT who has experience with very young children.
