Abstract
This paper discusses early childhood education; particularly the aspect of speech and language therapy for young children, as discussed in "An Introduction to Early Childhood Special Education" by Linda Dunlap. The paper discusses the age for normal development of speech in children and gives some recommendations for a child who has not started speaking by that age, as well as possible intervention strategies. The paper also presents the writer's personal experience in this area.
From the Paper
"Intervention may include interaction with the family regarding educational resources and opportunities, referring the family to social workers or other organizations who can help, or suggesting special education resources that can help the child. Many experts working with speech pathologists urge teachers to integrate certain therapies into the classroom. This helps all the students hone their speech skills, but also allows the children who need therapy to continue to practice their work with other children, making them feel more comfortable in the classroom environment. A teacher must be aware of the special needs of the speech-impaired student, and be in touch with the student's parents for ways they can aid in their child's learning and eventual adult success and independence."

Abstract
This paper explains that the onset of early childhood education encompasses the formative moment of a child's first social experience of coping with people and settings outside of the family. The author points out that nursery, preschool and kindergarten environments are the locations of a child's most nascent external social development, when their peer interaction increases, play becomes cooperative and social and individually initiated friendships are formed. The paper relates that, because of the importance of treating whole development, early childhood curriculum must be structured around play as an educational tool, incorporating physical, dramatic and celebratory play in both structured and unstructured settings.
From the Paper
"The romantic ideology of cultural transmission reflected the words of Rousseau, Frobel, Gesell, and Feud, but ignored the needs of behaviorism addressed by progressive trends. Piaget introduced a construction of education for the young child that addressed not only the child's developmental stage, but also the educational needs of that child and how natural activities, like play, might further the role of the teacher. Such work gave rise to the guidelines established in "Develomentally Appropriate Practices" (Bredekamp, 1986) issued by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. However, in proposing these guidelines a basic new question is posed: What does the early childhood teacher teach and how well is it taught?"

Abstract
The paper discusses the transition of early childhood development and education in third world countries from traditional to westernized or urbanized. It expands on the difficulties that these countries, mainly African, face in making this transition. The author offers detailed examples of African countries where traditional methods and perceptions of child development are often in conflict with more contemporary views.
From the Paper
"Further examples of the more traditional and rural context of childhood development and education in the country are evidenced by the fact that most children are born at home and immediately become an integral part of the family and community. Approximately seventy-five percent of children in the country are born at home. Breastfeeding begins immediately and "The umbilical cord is cut with an unsterilized instrument and cow dung is generally applied to the wound."(ibid) This suggests strong sense of family and community involvement in the rearing of the child."

While early education is important to a child's success for the future, a major problem in early education is getting parents involved in their child's education. Another important factor in early childhood education is the community being involved in the lives of these small children. The two major problems in childhood problems in early childhood education are lack of parental involvement and lack of community involvement.

It is also important to know why early childhood education is important."

Abstract
The following discussion evaluates the issues related to early childhood education in today's society. The writer points out that it is critical for children to obtain the skills and knowledge that are necessary to advance to higher levels. Further, the writer notes that these early years are the most critical development years, and therefore, education must be concentrated in providing support and goals for achievement.
From the Paper
"The education of very young children in modern society is critical to the development and maturity of these children into adolescence and adulthood. It is imperative that individual support of these objectives is sought and achieved on a regular basis as a means of discovery and in order to capture the attention of young minds when they are most likely to absorb knowledge. A wide variety of perspectives are available regarding this aspect of education, and it is necessary to identify and evaluate the specific issues related to leadership in both a gender and non-gender context. The following discussion will address these two perspectives in greater detail, providing an assessment of two articles that provide support for these issues."

Early Childhood Special Education and Parental Involvement, 2007.
This paper discusses the need for parents to be trained to work with their autistic children.
876 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses an article from the Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions that shows how there are very few public schools who include parent training as part of their early childhood special education (ECSE) curriculum. The authors recommend that future empirical studies are needed to determine both the short-term and long-term effects of adding such a program to ECSE curricula for autistic children. The paper asserts that this suggestion is appropriate and it should be carried through, to make sure there is a long-term upside to getting parents involved at such an intense and personal level. If there is a well-publicized long-term benefit, future parents and teachers will be more willing to participate.

"The family itself benefits when parents are deeply involved in their autistic children's care and maintenance, because knowing what to do with the child puts less stress on the family, and as a result parents have more optimism, more free time, and are encouraged to continue working with their child.
"But, first, special education teachers must be "provided with explicit instruction" as to which strategies to teach parents, which coaching skills are most beneficial, and how to work with families, the article points out."

African American Males in Early Childhood Education, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The lack of representation by African American males in the school system is alarming because young African American students, especially male students, do not have a role model with whom they can identify. The paper considers the factors that have been cited for the shortage of African American male teachers in the school system. The writer then studies questionnaires that were given to elicit the responses of African American male teachers in childhood education.
From the Paper
"Several factors have been cited for the shortage of African American male teachers in the school system. First, qualified African American men who have graduated from college turn away from the teaching profession because of the low salary. First-year public school teachers receive a salary of only $23,000 to $25,000 a year. Second, African American men believe that they face racial discrimination in schools. Third, African American males consider teaching to be a female-oriented profession because most schoolteachers are female. Fourth, African American males come from poor families that cannot afford the costs of attending college. Fifth, more African American males are spending their lives in prison than in college where they acquire necessary qualifications (Raines & Evans, p. 2)."

The paper discusses identification of needy students and the process of inducting a student into the special education system. The paper concludes with recommendations for legislative and administrative change to dramatically improve the delivery of multi-lingual education. Thesis Statement A Brief Background and History Barriers in the System Identification of Students Conclusions and the Welfare Issue
From the Paper
"Bilingual Education and the word Bilingual itself are nothing more than "political buzzwords," designed to ease expensive and expansive legislation through the Congress. The actual study of the factors in this field of Education, particularly of early childhood periods, is the term Multi-lingual due to the many variants involved in the processes of teaching not only this group but their families as well. For example, in Texas where the problems are being addressed most aggressively these educators are dealing with a variety of Spanish languages speaking individuals. This becomes a multi-lingual problem therefore because of the paradigms of dialectics, syntax, sentence structures, and many other factors. These problems likewise are not in any manner limited to Texas, as almost every State in the country must deal with it on some level. Texas, and their recent Educational Reforms just happens to be the model producing system for others too effectively follow. Moreover, Spanish and all its variants is not the only language Educators are forced to deal with."

Educators and Early Childhood Inclusion, 2008.
An examination of the inclusion of children with disabilities in a general classroom setting with children who are non-disabled.
1,483 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 49.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the inclusion practice, which is designed to support students with special needs in the regular-education schools, instead of housing such students in special-education classrooms. The paper explains that this applies whether the school is public, private, or another type of care facility dealing with education. The paper points out that there are many that believe inclusion is good for everyone involved, as students who have disabilities learn new and multiple ways of communication. Nonetheless, there are those that object to the practice because of their fears that special needs children in a "regular-education" classroom will be too distracting. The paper then explains that although there is still debate on the issue, inclusion has the potential to improve the educational system for all students, not just those with disabilities. The writer believes that curriculum changes are inevitable, and teaching methods much change as well, for inclusion to be implemented as a successful program. The writer concludes that proponents of inclusion argue that students with disabilities are not fully assimilated into mainstream student life, and their inclusion will increase their self-esteem and may increase their ability to interact with others including their peers.

Summary
From the Paper
"Unfortunately, it appears that there is limited data available on the success or failure of inclusion in the classroom. The data that does exist, however, appears to be on the positive side of the issue and supports the proponents of an inclusive classroom. The data indicates that child specific and peer-mediated interventions lead to the greatest increase in social interaction with peers. However, in both the short and long term, the most impact on children in the study was social integration intervention, which increased their social acceptance. Additionally, toys and other such instruments used to increase communicative activities taught peers and children with disabilities how to initiate and maintain contact and how to sustain communication."

Abstract
The following discussion evaluates the issues related to early childhood education and management in today's society, where there are vast differences in resources, cultures, and poverty rates in many situations. The writer points out that it is evident that poverty, cultural differences, and financial resources are critical to the development of effective early childhood education programs.
From the Paper
"In today's society, the education of young children is critical to the advancement and success of this generation in the future. It is necessary that leaders and managers within this field must capture the essence of young minds when developing strategies for improvement in the educational sector. In any discussion of early childhood education, there are considerable challenges in many cultures, which have led to problems in providing the curriculum and the skills that are necessary to ensure that children are prepared for the future. Perhaps most important is the understanding of these challenges in an attempt to offer new opportunities for the advancement of early childhood education in many different ways. The following discussion will identify three problems within the early childhood education environment and their influence on the management of this educational sector in the Western world."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper has several sections. It includes the search criteria that an applicant has in looking for a job, a description of an advertised job listing, a personal statement about early childhood education teaching philosophy and a checklist based on the National Association for the Education of Young Children code of ethical conduct from 1989. A CV from an early childhood teacher is also included.
From the Paper
"Over the course of my studies, I've grown very interested in alternate schools and methods of teaching. These teaching methods interest me because they take the teacher away from the front of the classroom and put him or her within reach of the students. In addition, I welcome the idea of being a facilitator or guide, rather than a lecturer. Therefore, my first criterion was that of the nature of the school program in which the position was being offered. My selection choices were somewhat broader than anticipated in this area, as I found advertisements for both Montessori- and Waldorf-based programs in my area. Because I do not have training in either program, one of my criteria needed to be a program that would allow me to learn about that philosophy of teaching while still permitting me to teach."
