The 2003 International Early Education Directors’ Conference in Atlanta ended with the unveiling of Dr. Smitherman’s Expected Student Outcomes. This resource is important for all early education centers in evaluating their programs.

The EELR online publication will assist those who lead in early education programs. Published quarterly, this journal can be printed off and handed out to your staff, used in meeting planning and to generate ideas for your center. Be creative and check our website for issues that will assist you.

You’ve read the book; now you can gain more knowledge and insight from the study guide.

Jim Collins, in his best seller Good to Great, set out to understand the dynamics of companies that, over the course of their existence, have moved from good to great. While the five-year study yielded insights into the business world, schools nationwide consider the information in light of effective schooling.

The components of effective schooling, often varied and argued, find a commonality within this research. More importantly, these results find ready implementation in a school environment.

What does the implementation look like in an early education program?

Issue 6.1 of the CEE, themed around Urban Early Education, was further explained in the Early Education Director’s Report (EEDR). This tool assists the director in assessing the readiness of the program to reach diverse cultures.

Does your program offer an exemplary learning opportunity or environment? Would you like to share your experience and expertise with the larger field of early education? Christian Early Education magazine will begin highlighting exemplary early education programs in a variety of ways.
