Effectiveness The Child Development Project was found to have potentially positive effects on behavior; no discernible effects on knowledge, attitudes, and values; and no discernible effects on academic achievement.

Program Description Caring School Community™ (CSC) is a modified version of a program formerly known as the Child Development Project. The Caring School Community ™ program has been recently revised to eliminate some elements of the Child Development Project that were shown in evaluation studies to be inconsistently or poorly implemented. CSC is a multiyear school improvement program that involves all students in grades K–6. The program aims to promote core values, prosocial behavior, and a schoolwide feeling of community. The program consists of four elements originally developed for the Child Development Project: class meeting lessons, cross-age "buddies" programs, "homeside" activities, and schoolwide community.

I facilitated a lesson with 4th graders that involved spaghetti, marshmallows, and cooperation! I divided the class into groups of three or four students. Each group received dry spaghetti noodles and a bowl of marshmallows. I instructed students that they would be making a tower with their group members.

Parents may also limit or eliminate outdoor play because they’re working or worried about safety.

At school, many administrators respond to intense academic demands by cutting recess. Yet research confirms what we know instinctively and continually observe in our classrooms: To do their best learning, children need not just recess, but opportunities to move throughout the day.

Kindergarten Preparation | Information Center. Test Anxiety: How You Can Help. Whether we like it or not, standardized testing is a reality that children are forced to deal with.

Schools practice test-taking strategies all year long to prepare for that looming date of state assessments. The focus of learning has shifted from teaching children solely coursework, to teaching kids coursework as well as tricks and techniques for bumping test scores up as high as possible. But when all that preparation is said and done, test time arrives and students are still left to their own devices. Students with high cognitive abilities but a low ability to deal with anxiety may find themselves doing poorly on standardized tests. For some students the stress comes from their need to answer every question correctly. While it’s true that students are forced into a less than ideal learning environment, parents are not helpless in dealing with a child’s test-taking anxiety. If you know your child is prone to anxiety, work out a system of relaxation techniques.
