Abbreviated Statement of Task

How can the science of children’s health, learning, and development inform how the workforce supports children from birth through age 8?

Starting From the Science

  • “Nature” and “nurture” do not operate in parallel – a dynamic interaction among

experiences (supports or stressors), genes turning on and off, and the developing brain underlies individual trajectories of development and early learning.

  • From birth, children’s minds are active and inquisitive, and early thinking is

insightful and complex.

  • Relationships and interactions are central to children’s development and learning.
  • Domains of development (cognitive; socioemotional; physical; subject matter

knowledge; general learning competencies) each have specific developmental paths, but they are also overlapping and influence each other.

  • In all domains, the foundations are being laid starting at birth and are continuously

building, allowing for increasingly sophisticated learning.

Educational practices that reflect this complexity are crucial to actively support children’s lifelong progress.

Children are already learning at birth. Development and learning in the early years is rapid and cumulative – and is the foundation for lifelong progress. Adults who provide for the care and education of children birth through age 8 bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning.

Key Messages

SLIDE 7

Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 (TWB8) in California Draft – May 2016

Just when consistent, continuous support is so important, the systems and services that children encounter – and the systems that support the adults who work with them – are fragmented. Practices and policies have often not kept pace with what we know about the sophisticated knowledge and competencies required to provide high-quality care and education for children birth through age 8. High-quality practice requires more than individual mastery of competencies.

Key Messages

SLIDE 8

Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 (TWB8) in California Draft – May 2016

TWB8 Report Vision:

A care and education workforce for children birth through age 8 that is unified by a foundation of the science of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies, and principles to support quality professional practice at the individual, setting, systems, and policy levels.

As a result:

All children experience high-quality and continuity in support for their development and early learning.

A Unifying Foundation:

Essential Features of Child Development

  • Early foundations continuously inform future development

and learning.

  • A dynamic interaction among experiences, gene

expression, and brain development underlies development and learning.

  • The domains of young children’s development and early

learning have specific developmental paths and also

  • verlap and mutually influence each other.

  • Stress and adversity experienced by children can

undermine learning and impair socioemotional and physical well-being.

  • Secure and responsive relationships with adults, coupled

with high-quality, positive learning interactions and environments, are foundational for the healthy development

  • f young children.
  • Conversely, adults who are underinformed, underprepared,
  • r subject to chronic stress themselves may contribute to

children’s experiences of adversity and stress and undermine their development and learning.

Care and education professionals need both foundational, shared competencies and differentiated, specialized competencies.

A Unifying Foundation: Principles to Support Quality Practice

  • Professionals need foundational and specific competencies.
  • Professionals and systems need to be able to support

diverse populations.

  • Professional learning systems need to develop and sustain

professional competencies.

  • Practice environments need to enable high-quality practice.
  • Systems and policies need to align with the aims of high-

quality practice.

  • Professional practice, systems, and policies need to be

adaptive.

Call to Action

  • Recognize the complex, important role of

care and education professionals.

  • Recognize the extensive and ongoing

professional learning and other supports needed to train, retain, and recruit highly effective practitioners.

  • Commit to pathways that will lead us to

the systems and policies that we need (rather than making do within what we have).

  • Three meetings of state/region “core teams”:

§ February (Washington, DC), May (Irvine, CA), July (Washington, DC) § Teams from California, Illinois, Virginia, Washington, and DC-Maryland-Northern Virginia § Time for Core Teams to work within teams and share across teams, with assistance from NAM staff

  • One to two meetings per year in future years (possible)
