As a director and consultant with KY's early childhood Regional Training Centers I was amazed and horrified at the data. I left there with " a sense of urgency" about my Pd work with preschool administrator, teachers and staff. I agree with you we must do something transformational. I also want to mention please do not forget our youngest learners. Ky serves "at risk" ( income based) children and children with disablities and developmental delays. This is the beginning of the " achievement gap." I recently visited a preschool program in an "inner city" school where preschooler were choosing their time to do literacy activities. That was a powerful observation to me. What I asked made this happen. I knew it was the teacher and staff. I was " a proud mama" as she had attended a graduate course literacy academy with a project I directed. My wish is that every preschooler in the commonwealth could have this similar experience. As I sat there that day in October I said to myself, "at this moment there is no achievement gap". Please let me know how I can help you with the transformatlon.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284261211973381967noreply@blogger.com
