The conference took place November 4-7, 1994 in Washington, D.C. It was attended by almost 800 academic researchers, practitioners, representatives of private foundations and professional organizations, policy analysts, and government officials. The conference came at a time when Head Start and other programs serving families with young children were facing new challenges and opportunities. The Advisory Committee for Head Start Quality and Improvement had just completed its deliberations, and Congress had passed the Family Preservation and Family Support Act. The Advisory Committee Report, "Creating a 21st Century Head Start," and the Family Preservation and Family Support Act will not only set new standards for the quality of services, but will create unprecedented opportunities for new community-based partnership models of child and family services. It becomes even more crucial to utilize all of the state-of-the-art research as it is known, to add to our existing knowledge base, and to develop new methodologies for research and evaluation. This conference was designed to bring all the partners in the creation of better lives for children and families together for information sharing and for interaction. The Proceedings is a compilation of the invited presentations, symposia, poster sessions, and other conference activities.It is hoped that the Proceedings will not only serve as a repository of state-of-the-art research and as a vehicle for dissemination, but also will serve as an example of ACYF's strong commitment to research and to a continuing partnership with the research community.

    Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework Ages Birth to Five 2015 R U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families Office of Head Start Office of Head Start | 8th Floor Portals Building, 1250 Maryland Ave, SW, Washington DC 20024 | eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov Dear Colleagues: The Office of Head Start is proud to provide you with the newly revisedHead Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five. Designed to represent the continuum of learning for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, this Framework replaces the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework for 3–5 Year Olds, issued in 2010. This new Framework is grounded in a comprehensive body of research regarding what young children should know and be able to do during these formative years. Our intent is to assist programs in their efforts to create and impart stimulating and foundational learning experiences for all young children and prepare them to be school ready. New research has increased our understanding of early development and school readiness. We are grateful to many of the nation’s leading early childhood researchers, content experts, and practitioners for their contributions in developing the Framework. In addition, the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Head Start Research and Evaluation and the National Centers of the Office of Head Start, especially the National Center on Quality Teaching and Learning (NCQTL) and the Early Head Start National Resource Center (EHSNRC), offered valuable input. The revised Framework represents the best thinking in the field of early childhood. The first five years of life is a time of wondrous and rapid development and learning.The Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five outlines and describes the skills, behaviors, and concepts that programs must foster in all children, including children who are dual language learners (DLLs) and children with disabilities.

PREAMBLE: Physical Education is one of the core subjects on the Trinidad and Tobago National Primary School Curriculum. According to Wuest & Bucher, 2015, “Physical Education is an educational process that has as its aim the improvement of human performance and enhancement of human development through the medium of physical activities”. One of the main goals of this subject is fulfilled through the ability to use knowledge of movement and skills to perform a wide range of physical activities (Wuest & Bucher, 2015). The Physical Education and Sport Unit of the Curriculum Planning and Development Division proposes to use Intergenerational Games and the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU)/ Games Sense Approach as major aspects of the Post SEA Programme 2018/2019. The TGfU/Games Sense Approach has proven to be very relevant to students at the Post SEA level. Recent studies suggest that, as students progress through the teaching/learning stages, their engagement in the Approach, allows for a smoother transition from one level to another.

  • Base Running Drills
    Base Running Drills 1. Batting Practice Base Running This is the best base running simulated drill work other than actual game base running experience. While your hitters are working on their hitting during batting practice your base runners should be working just as hard on their base running. This is why we call batting practice: YOUR MASCOT Practice. Every facet of the game, other than pitching, should be worked on during this practice session and therefore not just called BP or batting Practice. You should have five players in each group with one player hitting, one player of deck dry swinging and three others with one player at each base. Players at each base should be working on getting primary leads and reads off the bat as the hitter is making contact. The base runners can start on the outfield lip to not interfere with the extra infield ground balls and to not divot up the baselines. The runner on 3rd base should start deep and off the line, to limit the chance of getting hit by a line drive. They react at full speed, but only advance 4-5 steps and then go back to the base. They move up to the next base when the hitter is on his last swing of the round at which time the pitcher yells out “LIVE.” The defense, with one live player at each position, reacts along with the base runners to where the ball is hit. This drill will help condition your base runners to react to balls hit off the bat and limit double play line drives.

  • Students Parliament 6 September 2001 Afternoon Session — Legislative Council Chamber
    STUDENTS PARLIAMENT 6 SEPTEMBER 2001 AFTERNOON SESSION — LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER The ACTING PRESIDENT (Hon. A. P. Olexander) took the chair at 12.50 p.m. The ACTING PRESIDENT — Good afternoon. I am Andrew Olexander, a member for Silvan Province, and a member of this chamber. I welcome you all here to the resumption of the Students Parliament and to the Legislative Council. You may have heard earlier in the day that the Legislative Assembly, which is across the corridor and is decorated in green, is the people’s house. While the Legislative Council is elected on a very similar basis to the Legislative Assembly, its role in our democratic process is as a house of review. To achieve that, its members take great care with every piece of legislation that comes to us from the lower house. We analyse it in detail and bring further information and analysis to bear on it. You may have heard quoted what Lord Acton said last century. He said, ‘Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely’. That is a very true sentiment, and the whole idea of having a Legislative Council to review the activities of the house of government is so that no chamber has absolute power. The role and traditions of the Legislative Council are very important in our democratic system. Each student here today is represented by three members of Parliament: one is a person from the lower house, and two members represent each and every one of you in this, the upper house. If you do the maths you will see that every upper house electorate has two members and encompasses four lower house seats, so each province is a large electorate.
