In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
-Mahatma Gandhi, 1869-1948, lawyer and ethicist
Children's behavior when they first enter school can affect their progress throughout the elementary years, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic background, concludes a study reported in Developmental Psychology (September 2010).
In the study, researchers from three universities tracked learning gains reported for the Kindergarten cohort in the US Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Study. They found that kindergartners with a positive learning approach — as defined by persistence, emotional regulation, attentiveness, organization, and flexibility — made more progress in mathematics and reading through the 5th grade.
Children deserve to spend their days in well-designed environments that support their needs and stimulate their learning. Adults who spend their days teaching and caring for young children deserve environments that maximize their skills. Caring Spaces, Learning Places is a book of ideas, observations, problems, solutions, examples, resources, photographs, and poetry. Here you will find the best of current thinking about children's environments — 360 pages to challenge you, stimulate you, inspire you.
