Developmental Screening and Assessment Instruments With an Emphasis on Social and Emotional Development for Young Children Ages Birth Through Five. Ringwalt, S.
In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the mental health and social and behavioral developmental needs of very young children. In response, state administrators and local providers of early intervention and preschool programs have worked to strengthen their screening and assessment of children's social and emotional development. To meet this need, NECTAC compiled this product. This list of instruments was gathered through a review of: the infant mental health literature, states' Part C and Part B-Section 619 Web sites, screening and assessment texts, and publishers' Web sites. The screening instruments include both those that address multiple developmental domains as well as those that focus on the social-emotional developmental domain.

Developmental Studies Center (DSC) is a nonprofit educational publisher dedicated to children‘s academic, ethical, and social development.
We believe that all children, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or economic status, should be able to grow to their fullest potential—academically, ethically, socially, and emotionally. This is essential for a humane, just, and productive democracy. Our path to this goal is through helping schools and after-school programs to become caring, inclusive “communities” and stimulating, supportive places in which to learn. Our Work.

Head Start Advantages Mostly Gone by 3rd Grade, Study Finds - Early Years. While Head Start participation benefited children's learning and development during their time in the federally funded preschool program, those advantages had mostly vanished by the end of 3rd grade, a new federal study finds. In the final phase of a large-scale randomized, controlled study of nearly 5,000 children, researchers found that the positive impacts on literacy and language development demonstrated by children who entered Head Start at age 4 had dissipated by the end of 3rd grade, and that they were, on average, academically indistinguishable from their peers who had not participated in Head Start.
The new findings, released today by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, are consistent with an earlier phase of the study which showed that many of the positive impacts of Head Start participation had faded by the end of 1st grade.

Department of Health and Human Services released results from a long-awaited study on whether children's gains from Head Start still show up four years after students have exited the program. Findings from the first few years of the experiment, known as the Head Start Impact Study, showed that children in Head Start do better on several academic and social-emotional measures at the end of that pre-K experience than similar peers with no Head Start experience.
But those positive differences appear to be essentially erased by the third grade of elementary school. Chicago Groups Work on Developing Birth-to-College Education Model - Early Years.
