Re: “Vargas emphasizes early childhood education”
It is very clear that the most important and significant approach is to address the huge difference in school readiness by students entering school with less than 1/3 of the working vocabulary of the average preschooler . The frustrating irony is that the solution that has proven to have meaningful results to address these gaps are obvious and relativity easy to implement. There is one such model being used in the southern tier now. It involves outreach to mothers and new born babies during hospitalization by a nurse with frequent and on-going follow-up coupled with staff that work with the family to assure both a full range of services in the community and education of that family by each of those services in a coordinated manner. This maximizes the possibilities and opportunities for learning to address the range of needs faced by these families and therefore end the existing gap. These results have been proven effective over time and currently are being implemented nearby. The cost as documented is relatively
