Description

How can we close opportunity gaps for young children affected by poverty and systemic racismand build hope and resilience for children and their families? Research points the way forward, and in this timely volume, 40+ leading researchers identify new approaches, insights, and technologies that can promote educational equity and improve outcomes for children and families living in poverty.

Building on the seminal work of researcher John Fantuzzo, this book focuses on identifying and expanding on child, family, and community strengths to address the urgent needs of the whole child and the whole family. The expert contributors examine the importance of 1) child-level strengths and social connections, 2) strengths-based intervention as an antidote to deficit framing, and 3) collaboration and data sharing across systems serving vulnerable children and families.

Chapters cover research and recommendations for:

  • implementing interventions that foster children's social-emotional learning skills
  • developing culturally and linguistically valid tools for measuring social-emotional development
  • creating more culturally inclusive preschool classrooms and practices
  • enhancing young children's communication and language competence in home visiting programs
  • using partnership-based approaches to strengthen understanding between home and school settings
  • integrating data across programs and agencies to inform early childhood policy and better address complex social issues

In addition to reporting on current research projects, the contributors outline future priorities and explore how research can inform policy and practice to achieve positive, sustainable change. A foundational volume for current and future early childhood researchers, administrators, and policy makers, this forward-thinking book will light the path toward greater educational equity, reduced disparities, and better outcomes for children and families.
