Volume Number October 1999 Redefining Literacy Literacy Standards for Preschool Learners Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Diane E. Paynter In recent years, major studies ( Why Children Can't Read, To support early literacy, school districts, state agencies, and national organizations are setting early literacy standards. Accountability for teaching literacy in early childhood classrooms will likely grow stronger rather than weaker. But the path toward implementing literacy standards in these classrooms will present challenges that are quite different from those in the higher grades. First, defining literacy in preschool and kindergarten requires more than adding "the student begins to . . ." to literacy standards borrowed from higher grades. At these early levels, the precursors of successful reading and writing often are not even called reading and writing. A young child's ability to draw and represent actions symbolically in dramatic play, for example, is not writing at all, but it is an important step in early literacy development. Second, standards implementation requires a redefinition of the early childhood teacher's role in literacy instruction. Although the importance of setting the proper environment and providing opportunities for children to learn will continue to be essential, teachers may find their role broadening to include guiding and even directing learning, a role that many view with a certain wariness. With good reason, early childhood teachers are concerned about trading practices that contribute to the long-term growth and development of young children for the short-lived success of teaching narrowly defined literacy skills.

L aboratory Preschool offers students practical teaching experiences where the students get to determine the structure the classroom for the children, that is, they are the teachers, no teachers are employees. It is taught by a teaching team composed of the college instructor, advanced students in Early Childhood Education and Special Education associate degree programs, with the assistance of one class of beginning students. Laboratory Preschool is equipped with two outdoor courts we have for large motor development for the children. The students set the ladders and planks in different formations every day. Since it is always different, the children are continually challenged to try new things.

That means she practically lives there. She finds the children, both "regular" and a few with special needs, organizes the supplies and resources, and serves as model teacher and gamemaster. That is, she lays out the playing board, assigns the roles and the chips, and lets the "game" of educating these children begin. Before she came to North Seattle Community College Ms. Daniel was a teacher in child care, Head Start, and then the Education Coordinator for a Head Start grantee here in Seattle. She and Tom Drummond taught together in a Head Start kind of classroom in a housing project in central Seattle for a year, back in 1988. That was one hot classroom! Besides teach kids, she READS PEOPLE. She is a woman with high interpersonal intelligence. She is direct, open, honest and genuinethe perfect attributes for the Laboratory Preschool instructor. She builds a classroom in which everyone feels free to be who they are, at this moment, to risk, to try new behavior, and to feel accepted as a growing, exploring, learning person. People laugh a lot, too.

A variety of children who engage in challenging behaviors would benefit from being taught to request items/activities. 1. Gain Preferred Items Children who engage in challenging behaviors in order to obtain items or activities would benefit from being taught a communicative request. Larry bangs his head on the floor when he wants a preferred toy. When he engages in this behavior, caregivers offer him an array of preferred items.

Preschool Teachers and Child-Care (D.O.T. Nature of the Work Nurturing and teaching preschool children, those who are 5 years old or younger, is the job of preschool teachers and child-care workers. Found in daycare centers, nursery schools, preschools, and family daycare homes, these workers play an important role in a child's development by caring for the child when the parents are at work or away for other reasons. Some parents enroll their children in nursery schools or child-care centers primarily to provide them with the opportunity to interact with other children. In addition to attending to children's basic needs, these workers organize activities that stimulate the children's physical, emotional, intellectual, and social growth. They help children explore their interests, develop their talents and independence, build self-esteem, and learn how to behave with others. Most preschool teachers and child-care workers perform a combination of basic care and teaching duties. Through many basic care activities, preschool teachers and child-care workers provide opportunities for children to learn. For example, a worker who shows a child how to tie a shoe teaches the child and also provides for that child's basic care needs. Through their experiences in preschool and child-care programs, children learn about trust and gain a sense of security. Young children cannot be taught in the same manner as older students because they are less physically, emotionally, and mentally developed. Children at this age learn mainly through play. What results is a less structured approach to teaching preschool children, including small group lessons, one-on-one instruction, and learning through creative activities, such as art, dance, and music. Interaction with their peers is an important part of early childhood development. Preschool children are given an opportunity to engage in conversation and discussions, and learn to play and work cooperatively with their classmates. Preschool teachers and child- care workers play a vital role in preparing children to build the skills they will need in elementary school.

Preschool Workers Nature of the Work Working Conditions Employment Training ... Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work Nurturing and teaching preschool children, those who are 5 years old or younger, is the job of preschool workers. Found in daycare centers, nursery schools, preschools, and family daycare homes, preschool workers play an important role in shaping the kind of adolescent a child will become by caring for the child when the parents are at work or away for other reasons. Some parents enroll their child in a nursery school primarily to provide him or her with the opportunity to interact with other children. In addition to attending to children's basic needs, these workers organize activities that stimulate the children's physical, emotional, intellectual, and social growth. They help children explore their interests, develop their talents and independence, build self-esteem, and learn how to behave with others. Preschool workers must work in two different worlds-the child's and the parent's. At the same time that they create a safe, comfortable environment in which children can grow and learn, they must also keep records of each child's progress and discuss the children's progress and needs with the parents. Depending on their experience and educational background, some preschool workers-often called preschool teachers-are responsible only for children's educational activities. Other workers-sometimes called child-care workers-provide only basic care to children. However, even by providing basic care, workers teach the children; the children learn trust and gain a sense of security. Most preschool workers perform a combination of basic care and teaching duties. For example, a worker who shows a child how to tie a shoe teaches the child and also provides for that child's basic care needs.

Visual Development During Preschool Years Preschool Children Every experience of a preschooler is an opportunity for growth and learning. Preschool children are learning how to use vision to guide other learning experiences. At this age, usually three to five years old, a child needs to develop visually guided eye-hand-body coordination, fine motor skills, and the visual motor ability neccessary to learn to read and perform tasks that he or she will soon need in school. Parents of preschool children should be alert for signs of abnormal visual development or coordination problems. It is important to recognize signs and symptoms such as: - Frequent inward, outward, upward, or downward eye turning. - Excessive tearing of the eyes. - Excessive blinking. - Obvious favoring of one eye. - Squinting or frequent closing of one eye. - Covering of one eye with hands when looking at objects. - Drifting of one eye when looking at objects. - Swollen or crusted eyelids. - Unusual redness of the eyes or eyelids. - Bumps, sores, or styes on or around the eyelids.

Index Part I: - Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Part II: - Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 - Chapter 8 Educating through the Mass Media Because traditional early child interventions reach relatively few children and most innovative techniques have yet to be extended beyond the pilot stage, early education specialists are increasingly turning to the mass media to get their message out. Teaching videos in particular have great potential to convey active learning strategiesÑimmediately, engagingly, and accuratelyÑon a large scale. These videos can be broadcast over national television and used in training courses, health care centers, and parental discussion groups. Better-informed parents are far more likely to demand preschool enrichment services from their government and to use active learning techniques with their children at home.

Training Children's First Teachers in Israel Helping Parents Care for the Very Young in Israel Searching for the Best Care Model in Turkey Community Educators Working with Parents in Mexico Training Children's First Teachers in Israel Israel's Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters trains mothers from disadvantaged families to act as home teachers for their preschool-age children. Using specially designed teaching materials and workbooks, the program serves 6,000 at-risk families a year and has been found to improve cognitive development and achievement and to decrease participants' chances of dropping out of school. Since 1969 the Hebrew University has been administering a unique home-based preschool enrichment program for disadvantaged Israeli children. Dr. Avima D. Lombard of the university's Research Institute for Innovation in Education came up with the Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) in order to test whether mothers trained to provide specially designed lessons to their preschoolers could improve their children's learning patterns.
