Last chance to register for The Leader's Lens, May 27th at 12:30 PM! 🔍

Today, the use of center management platforms, parent/teacher communications applications, email, online subscriptions, and portals is deeply entrenched in all operational and administrative processes of a modern ECE program. Comprehensive policies regarding ownership and access to these must be clear and enforced to protect and preserve those records.

Live on Zoom, we will discuss policy language explaining ownership of accounts created and used by staff, along with practical procedures for maintaining records of logins, account passwords, and preservation.

We hope to see you there!

The downward displacement of reading skills is something that has concerned Early Education Leaders for decades. The US treats reading early as a parent fitness competition where parents proudly boast their 3-4-5 year old can read…but we miss the result that by about 4th grade when we shift from learning to read to reading to learn, that elementary school children often express feelings of despair and disinterest in books which then makes middle school and high school a drudge when most learning happens through reading.

Carlsson-Paige, Nancy; McLaughlin, Geralyn Bywater; Almon, Joan Wolfsheimer work in conjunction with the Alliance for Childhood to release a new report "Reading Instruction in Kindergarten: Little to Gain and Much to Lose." In the report they concluded that Common Core reading requirements for kindergarten are inappropriate and not well-grounded in research.
