Like very many practitioners in the early years, the author of this article believes this report to be of concern, as the recommendations it proposes would be so damaging for the early education of young children. She believes its…

Ackerman, Debra J. – ETS Research Report Series, 2020

Nowicki, Jacqueline – US Government Accountability Office, 2020
Every 2 years, Education requires nearly all school districts to report incidents of restraint and seclusion.

The House Committee on Appropriations' explanatory statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations…

Hanafin, Sinéad – Child Care in Practice, 2016
There is a substantial literature on the importance of good-quality early childhood care and education services. There is also, however, some agreement that service quality is a nebulous concept which is difficult to define and therefore difficult to assess. While there is growing literature in the area, the views of one stakeholder group--that of…

Barnett, W. Steven – Education and the Public Interest Center, 2008
This new report from the Lexington Institute, "How sound an investment? An analysis of federal prekindergarten proposals," considers current proposals for federal involvement in prekindergarten (pre-K).
