    Early Intervening Services is a hot topic and nonetheless relevant topic for us educators. Early Intervening Services is essential for all students to succeed. “The concept of early intervening services was introduced into public school systems with the implementation of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004” (Mire & Montgomery, 2009). Administrators need to adhere to the educational laws so that all children have the right to learn and grow with their peers in an educational setting. One change in the law is this emphasis of intervening early to meet the needs of children at risk of not succeeding in the classroom. A common thread with the research articles I’ve selected is this notion of effectiveness. Dickman’s (2007) formula and the provided description of IDEA: Early Intervening Services ( ) both support the non negotiable pieces of the puzzle in order to have an effective approach when providing Early Intervening Services. The research heavily emphasizes the importance of Early Intervening Services must be provided with scientific research-based, training to carry out the program, and informed environment. The research strongly suggests that all three are essential to meet the expectations of Early Intervening Services. Dickman’s vital points do align with the definition of IDEA. In Neuman’s (2007) Changing the Odds article, identifies effective principles to an intervention just like Dickman; she also agrees professional training is key to effective Early Intervening Services. Although, her attributes for an effective intervention consist of eight principles and his consist of three, both of them strongly believe children can succeed when provided effective early intervention services by...

In addition those children show higher verbal and intellectual development during early childhood than children who do not participate in early learning programs (A Parent’s Guide to Choosing Quality Child Care). In order for a child care center to be a quality center they must have an educated staff, a program accreditation, and good health and safety practices. Parents choose high quality child care for many reasons. These programs prepare children for school in which they gain intellectual and social skills.

    According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), there are five current health policies that need to be addressed. This area of the paper will focus on one of the five health policies called “Can Early Childhood Interventions Improve Health and Well-Being?”. This policy focuses on improving the U.S. educational and social experiences during early childhood because studies show that children with early education have healthier outcomes. According to RWJF, “investing in improving children’s development at the beginning of life is a crucial component of any effective strategy for realizing the health potential of all Americans” ( Braveman, Egerter, Arena, & Aslam, 2014). This issue is further supported by research conducted by Landry; Swank; Smith; Assel and Gunnewig (2006), which indicates early literacy beginning at age 3 allows children to better develop cognitive and social skills for a more positive future such as more adolescents wanting to complete college prepared professional careers. In order for the U.S. to improve the overall health of children, changes need to be implemented such as more emphasis on early childhood programs (Landry et al., 2006). The benefits of early childhood programs are they serve as a foundation for children to learn social skills, develop cognitive readiness, have counseling support and other community resources which may not be easily available to children not involved in early childhood programs (Hillemeier, Morgan, Farkas & Maczuga, 2013).

  • The Importance of Multicultural Awareness

In order for a community, school, and/or neighbors to achieve shared goals, caring and sturdy relationships between people and families must be formed based on understanding, respect, and trust. Neighbors form their own unique community in a small geographic area within larger communities, and neighborhoods can include families of many different cultures. For purposes of this paper, since I am not an educator, while including the positive influence of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to early childhood education, this author’s particular focus will be on a strategic and effective approach to communication, which, in turn, promotes positive development and learning.

  • Importance Of Child Development Essay

    1089 Words  | 3 Pages

    Several studies of early intervention programs have found long-term positive effects on children’s cognitive development and academic achievement that last until the third or fourth grade, and even longer into adolescence and adulthood for broader indicators of school success, such as retention in grade, special education placement, total years of education, and intellectual functioning.9-15 These early intervention programs were generally high quality, very intensive, model demonstration programs, and while these studies clearly show lasting positive effects of providing such programs in the preschool years, they do not reflect the typical experiences of most children in child care. A second area of research has examined the effects of the typical community child care programs utilized by families, which may vary widely in the quality of experiences provided. More specifically, substantial research literature has developed over the past two decades examining the effects of preschool child care quality on children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. Research studies have included child care programs selected from those existing within the local communities sampled, as opposed to the model demonstration programs included in
