School readiness Reach-by-Risk Report 2014 — ICPSR 35219

Announced today:Oklahoma School Readiness Reach-by-Risk Report, 2014http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/35219?q=school+readiness&searchSource=find-analyze-home

Date Issued:Summer 2014
Description:The Oklahoma School Readiness Reach-by-Risk Report builds on the development of the Oklahoma School Readiness Risk Index (SRRI) in 2011 by including data on the scope of early childhood programs in each of the state’s 77 counties. This research project seeks to analyze the prevalence of particular socio-demographic indicators of school readiness, as well as promote informed policy funding decisions related to early childhood education. The purpose of this study is to highlight counties where the risk for starting school unprepared to learn is high, yet opportunities for quality early childhood programs and services are low. Within this study the researchers focused on prekindergarten students (with Hispanic background) who displayed signs of being unprepared to learn by examining two social constructs: risk and reach (identified by early childhood programs). Risk measures were assessed through a risk index comprised of 10 socioeconomic and demographic indicators found by empirical research to increase a child’s risk of being unprepared for school. The Reach measures were created by gathering data from early education programs, the state’s universal prekindergarten program, early childhood home visitation programs, and child care services. Early childhood program reach was determined by analyzing the county-level service density of early childhood education and home visitation programs in addition to several aspects of child care services, such as provider quality ratings and enrollment of children with child care subsidies in quality facilities.

Dear Members,

Members are invited to consider offering a general graduate student
professional development session for the CCGSE/CCÉDÉ during the 2014
CSSE Conference (http://brocku.ca/congress2014/). Topics for these
sessions might focus on, but are not limited to: Grant Writing for
Graduate Students; Job Search for Graduate Students; Mentorship and the
Graduate Student, and/or Publishing for Graduate Students.

In addition to these sessions, I invite CSSE Association and SIG
presidents to consider offering a discipline-specific panel session for
their graduate students during the 2014 CSSE Conference. These sessions
can be organized by the graduate student serving on respective
association/SIG Boards with ongoing assistance and support from myself
as CCGSE/CCÉDÉ Co-President.

Please contact me, Maryam Wagner, at maryam.wagner@mail.utoronto.ca
by*December 15, 2013* if you
would be willing to help organize a session related to one of the
above-mentioned topics.

With many thanks in advance for your support,

Maryam Wagner
CCGSE/CCÉDÉ Co-President, Director

***********************************

Chers membres,

Nous incitons les membres à songer à offrir une séance de formation
professionnelle d’ordre général à l’intention des étudiants diplômés qui
participeront au congrès 2014 de la SCÉÉ. Divers sujets pourraient être
abordés, dont la rédaction d’une demande de subvention, la recherche
d’un emploi, le mentorat ainsi que la publication d’articles.

J’aimerais aussi inciter les présidents des associations et des GIS à
songer à offrir des tables rondes axées sur l’éducation à leurs
étudiants diplômés au cours du congrès 2014 de la SCÉÉ
(http://brocku.ca/congress2014/). Ces tables rondes peuvent être
organisées par un étudiant diplômé faisant partie du conseil
d’administration d’une association ou d’un GIP donné, lequel pourrait
compter sur mon aide en tant que coprésidente du CCÉDÉ.

Veuillez communiquer avec moi à _maryam.wagner@mail.utoronto.ca_ avant
le 15 Décembre, 2013 si vous désirez participer à l’organisation d’une
séance reliée à l’un des sujets mentionnés plus haut.

Maryam Wagner
Coprésidente du CCÉDÉ et administratrice

National Association for Ethnic Studies
Conference Call for Proposals–
RESEARCH AS CEREMONY: DECOLONIZING ETHNIC STUDIES
April 3-5, 2014
Oakland, California | Mills College

Ethnic Studies today is threatened by the corporatization of the university and co-option by neo- liberal, “post-racial,” “post-feminist” rhetoric. The 2014 National Association for Ethnic Studies conference seeks to restore and renew our critical purpose and commitment to self-determination, social justice and intersectional praxis. We as scholars, activists, tribal leaders, grassroots organizers, and community-based organizations see research justice as a critical, intersectional praxis that can unlock the power and knowledge of our own communities both within and outside of academia. In this spirit, we envision NAES 2014 as ceremony, an interdisciplinary space of creativity, struggle, and solidarity where academia, politics, community, arts, spirituality, and culture converge. We will convene a national Ethnic Studies Congress along with Talking Circles, Teach-Ins, and Workshops for exchange of ideas, research, and knowledge and presentations among community-based organizers, scholars, tribal leaders, youth leaders, policymakers, and others.

Proposal Submission Deadline: Abstracts will be accepted until 11:59 pm CST on December 15, 2013.
