The NC house education committee recently moved forward a bill to pilot and potentially scale an online early learning program for low-income preschool-aged children who are not currently accessing NC pre-K.Types of cognitive learning theory the online program is intended to be used for 15 minutes a day, five days a week, and is proposed as an alternative early learning option for children who are eligible for NC pre-K but not receiving the service because of waitlists or barriers like transportation.Types of cognitive learning theory

NCECF reported recently that NC pre-K receives high marks from NIEER for program quality, meeting all but two of the benchmarks.

NC’s leaders seem to agree that online learning is not an effective substitute for high-quality preschool, as state funding for NC pre-K has increased in recent years.Types of cognitive learning theory the governor and house 2019-21 budget proposals both recommend raising the NC pre-K reimbursement rate, which would allow more child care providers to participate in the program.Types of cognitive learning theory increasing the reimbursement rate was one of several recommendations to increase enrollment in NC pre-K made by a recent NC-specific NIEER report.Types of cognitive learning theory watch our recorded webinar for more on that report. Despite recent increases in funding for the program, in 2018, less than half (47%) of eligible NC four-year-olds were able to participate in NC pre-K.

The proposed three-year pilot will provide families in selected districts with access to a virtual early learning program called UPSTART. The home-based program is primarily delivered to children by computer and the internet.Types of cognitive learning theory computers and internet connectivity will reportedly be provided at no cost to qualifying NC families. Developed by a utah-based company, UPSTART software uses adaptive lessons, digital books, songs, and activities.Types of cognitive learning theory children are encouraged to use the program for 15 minutes a day, five days a week with resources and technical assistance offered to parents.Types of cognitive learning theory UPSTART focuses on the development of academic skills that allow children to be successful in kindergarten, such as early reading and math skills.Types of cognitive learning theory

UPSTART is currently being used in 15 states and is reported to have good results by external evaluators. Graduating students in utah showed improvements in early literacy skills.Types of cognitive learning theory it should be noted, however, that the majority of the graduating students in utah were white, living above the poverty line, and english-speaking, which does not match the population eligible for NC pre-K in north carolina.Types of cognitive learning theory utah’s UPSTART program evaluation report can be viewed here.

The american academy of pediatrics (AAP) recommends limiting screen use to one hour per day of high-quality programming for children ages 2 to 5 years old.

The AAP also emphasizes the importance of parents viewing and engaging in the media with their children to help them understand and apply what they are viewing.Types of cognitive learning theory recent research shows that children as young as 15 months can learn new vocabulary from technology if parents are sitting next to them reading the words and talking interactively with them.

Time for creative, exploratory, and unrestricted play in home and school environments is critical for social emotional health and cognitive development among preschoolers.Types of cognitive learning theory A recent meta-analysis suggests that in many preschool settings serving low-income children, american early education is paying less attention to young children’s social emotion development by moving away from rich learning environments involving art and play and towards more academic instruction. [viii] while some components may be included, UPSTART does not focus on the development of social emotional skills that support a successful start in kindergarten and may take away from time for play at home.Types of cognitive learning theory progress of online early learning legislation at the general assembly

The governor’s budget proposal did not include the online early learning pilot.Types of cognitive learning theory the legislation was included in the house budget, along with $1 million in funding for the pilot. The funding was removed and put back in during the amendment process, and the final house budget includes the legislation and nearly all the $1 million in funding (minus $1000 that went to another education priority).Types of cognitive learning theory the senate should release their budget proposal this week.

The vision of NCECF’s pathways to grade-level reading initiative is that all north carolina children, regardless of race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, are reading on grade-level by the end of third grade, and all children with disabilities achieve expressive and receptive communication skills commensurate with their developmental ages, so that they have the greatest opportunity for life success. To learn more about actions that support NCECF’s vision and an accessible and high-quality education for all NC children, read the pathways action framework.Types of cognitive learning theory
