High-quality pre-K that really improves children's outcomes -- that's the goal early childhood professionals will work toward with this groundbreaking text, the first volume in the NEW National Center for Research on Early Childhood Education (NCRECE) series. Combining the most current knowledge of top researchers, policy makers, and federal and state officials, this book examines where pre-K is today and inspires decision-makers with concrete examples of successful programs. With this in-depth examination of the latest research and practice, readers will be better prepared to make a compelling argument for supporting high-quality pre-K, address the complex challenges of expanding pre-K at the national and state levels, understand the pros and cons of different types of pre-K programs, and make informed decisions about the most important issues in program development: program funding, adherence to early learning standards, assessment of both children and program quality, teacher preparation, class size, curriculum selection, and technical assistance and other infrastructure needs. Readers get an inside look at five successful state-level programs in NY, MD, LA, GA, and NC. Through detailed analyses of each program's characteristics, these extended case examples give decision-makers a template for effective, child-centered early education. An essential resource for policy makers, researchers, and teacher educators, this important volume will help early childhood professionals make progress toward their ultimate goal: pre-K that responds to children's changing needs, helps close the achievement gap, and ensures school readiness.
