Sharing Web Resources


Long-term partnerships between business and education are not common within Early Education environments in Edmonton. Financial support in early education programs makes sense to improve outcomes for children. Economists, researchers and behavioral scientists are discovering and reaffirming the knowledge that proponents of early education have been claiming.

 



Highly respected early childhood websites support early education professionals to advocate for supports through research based practices. For example, The National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) conducts and communicates research to support high-quality, effective early childhood education for all young children. Such education enhances their physical, cognitive, and social development and subsequent success in school and later life (National Institute for Early Education Research, 2013).

Evidence based research and practices assist early education professionals to advocate for effectively for supports within their programs. Often sites such as this rely upon charitable foundations or research bodies to prove financial or knowledge based support to maintain research.

 

Within this valuable website, there are resources provided by the Government such as Annual State Pre-K Reports: State Preschool Yearbooks found at : http://nieer.org/publications/state-preschool-2012 

There are also links to videos linked to topics highlighted by NIEER. a useful video for families includes a Spanish and English version discussing the importance or preschool to mothers http://nieer.org/publications/nieer-videos/video-value-pre-k-mothers-discuss-preschool-benefits. 

Another great resource for the education of Board, community or business members is http://nieer.org/publications/nieer-videos/video-preschool-americas-best-investment.

    It sounds like the website you found is extra valuable. I like that they have both an English and Spanish version of the video, this may help with some of the knowledge for all families about preschool programs.
