In continuing my review on the Office of Headstart website, I decided to pay close attention to information regarding classroom teachers. Recently, there were provisions put into action stating that Head Start classrooms were to have more qualified teachers. I found this to be quite interesting because this has not been the case for so many years. I do think it is a safe idea. I believe it definitely shows the interest in investments pertaining to early childhood. This is such a critical point in a child's life and it needs the proper nurturing of qualified teachers. How is it that you can have someone working with children that have little to no training, at all?
What I found to be controversial about this is the fact that this stipulation was not put into action long ago, that is if so many people were truly concerned about young children and making the investments in early childhood education. If we are to produce strong individuals of the future, then we must provide qualified teachers to help them reach that point. I totally agree with the action and feel that it will produce positive results over time.
One new insight that I gained from this site is how the Office of Head Start is working to assist low income families who live in low income households and limited economic resources. They are working to assist them with improving their financial stability. Through this, they want parents to understand that they can achieve economic stability for themselves as well as their families by building their skills in budgeting and planning for day to day expenses, emergencies, and long term goals. I think this is a great way to help families as they gain support with the health of their children as well as ongoing learning within the years to come.
