Description

The Early Learning Network is uncovering information around several themes that are important in understanding children’s learning and development: -Preschool Participation (Attenders & Non-Attenders) -Individual Classroom Experiences -Transitions -Alignment -Classroom Ecology -Family Engagement -Mixed Auspices The research teams are also using OLOS — a new, web-based classroom observation tool — as part of ELN's nationwide studies.

[00:00:06.300]Hi, I'm Dr. Sue Sheridan of
[00:00:08.040]the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
[00:00:09.960]and principle investigator of
[00:00:11.460]the Early Learning Network Lead,
[00:00:13.490]funded by the Institute of Education Sciences.
[00:00:16.760]For the last three years,
[00:00:18.020]our research and assessment teams
[00:00:19.230]from across the United States have leveraged
[00:00:22.000]the network's expertise, resources,
[00:00:24.400]and geographic diversity to help make
[00:00:27.140]a difference in children's learning.
[00:00:29.870]We are starting to understand what makes
[00:00:31.358]for effective transitions over the early years
[00:00:34.580]and we're developing innovative tools
[00:00:36.430]to hone in on what's happening
[00:00:38.149]in classrooms around the country.
[00:00:40.640]Through our nationwide studies,
[00:00:42.490]we are uncovering information around several themes
[00:00:46.020]that are important to better understand
[00:00:47.900]children's learning and development.
[00:00:50.170]For example, our teams are comparing outcomes
[00:00:53.050]for children who attended center-based preschool programs
[00:00:56.190]with those who did not, and we're analyzing
[00:00:58.400]the implications of this kind of experience
[00:01:00.600]for later learning.
[00:01:03.190]The network is also examining children's individual
[00:01:05.590]classroom experiences, particularly for children
[00:01:08.170]who are dual-language learners.
[00:01:12.480]We are interested in learning which skills support
[00:01:14.720]children's positive trajectories
[00:01:16.660]from preschool to kindergarten
[00:01:18.430]and as they move through the early grades.
[00:01:22.940]We are investing time in understanding
[00:01:24.540]the impacts of having a well-aligned school curriculum
[00:01:27.320]and instructional experiences across those early years.
[00:01:32.690]Our teams are exploring how the classroom environment
[00:01:34.789]influences student's learning and development,
[00:01:38.030]such as social networks, friendships,
[00:01:41.450]and interactions that teachers have with their students.
[00:01:46.740]We are learning how child outcomes are affected
[00:01:49.070]by strong family engagement and family/school partnerships.
[00:01:53.660]We're also exploring how different auspices influence
[00:01:56.560]student experiences and learning
[00:01:58.520]and the impact of geographic contexts
[00:02:01.180]on children's success in the classroom.
[00:02:04.170]Lastly, we're excited to bring
[00:02:06.270]a new web-based observation tool to classrooms
[00:02:09.350]that allows teachers to easily gather information
[00:02:12.172]in real-time on their own instruction,
[00:02:15.360]on their interactions with their students,
[00:02:17.720]and the overall classroom environment.
[00:02:19.730]Thank you for your role in making this progress possible
[00:02:22.890]and for your continued support of the network's mission.
[00:02:25.420]Our teams look forward to continuing this work
[00:02:28.150]and sharing findings with you in the coming years.
[00:02:31.150]This will inform educational practices and policies
[00:02:34.220]and help ensure that all students are successful,
[00:02:37.210]both at school and in life.
[00:02:39.650]On behalf of the Early Learning Network teams,
[00:02:42.000]we wish you a wonderful holiday season.
