I chose option 1 for this week's blog assignment:
I would like to share two research articles with my colleagues that has positively affected children and their families.The first article is "The Effects of Universal Pre-K in Oklahoma: Research Highlights and Policy Implications, CROCUS Working Paper." The authors are William T. Gormley, Jr. and Deborah Phillips. I found it on the ERIC through Walden University. The second article is " The Effects of Universal Pre-K on Cognitive Development". The authors are William T. Gormley, Jr., Ted Gayer, Deborah Phillips and Brittany Dawson. T found it on the ERIC through Walden University.
I found this articles exciting and they both gave an enormous amount of information on the effects of an Universal Pre-K program and how they effect children and families. Anyone that is interested in Pre-K or Cognitive Development would gain information from these two articles.
Lori the article on "The effects of universal pre-k in Oklahoma" is a good article. I read that during our last course and got some valuable information to compare with our Georgia pre-k program. Both programs started around the same time and both have received mixed reviews as to their effect on 4 year old children. I will read the second article on universal pre-k because you know that is my passion also.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the resources that you found! Universal Pre-K is an interesting topic and what we learn about it (consequences, policies, etc.) can be shared with our colleagues and the families that we work with. Having and sharing resources such as these can help us become better advocates for the importance of early childhood education!
