  • The Tragedy of Child Care in America

    Edward Zigler, Edward F Zigler et al.BOOKTragedy of Child Care in America2017

    Why the United States has failed to establish a comprehensive high-quality child care program is the question at the center of this book. Edward Zigler has been intimately involved in this issue since the 1970s, and here he presents a firsthand history of the policy making and politics surrounding this important debate. Good-quality child care supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, school readiness, and academic achievement. This …

  • The added value of the school of the 21st Century when combined with a statewide preschool program

    Misty Ginicola, Misty M Ginicola et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2013References: 3

    Although schools have begun to employ multiple programs to reach educational goals, little attention has been paid to the efficacy of combining separate programs. The present study investigates the combination of a school reform model, the School of the 21st Century (21C), and the Arkansas Better Chance (ABC) program, where preschools apply for state funds to provide high quality services to children at risk. To determine if 21C adds anything to …

  • The Complexity of Complexity

    Open AccessShulamith Kreitler, Edward Zigler et al.ARTICLEHuman Development2009

    The study dealt with the following questions about the nature and effects of complexity in children: Are responses to stimuli exemplifying any of the complexity dimensions (heterogeneity of elements, irregularity of arrangement, amount of material, irregularity of shape, incongruities) interrelated? Are these dimensions interrelated ? Are viewing time and preferences interrelated ? Which stimuli are preferred or observed longer ? Do boys and girl…

  • From research to policy and practice: The School of the 21st Century

    Edward Zigler, Matia Finn-Stevenson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2007

    Current education reform policies focus on raising academic achievement and ensuring that all students have access to high-quality education. Because the achievement gap is apparent even before children enter school, the authors believe that education reform must encompass the early childhood years. The current dialogue about universal preschool presents an opportunity to address the need for a national system for early care and education. The au…

  • Research, policy, and the federal role in prevention initiatives for children

    Carol H Ripple, Edward ZiglerARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2003

    With the ability and the funds to implement programs on a national level, federal policy is a potentially potent tool in primary prevention. Despite the U.S. government's history of ambivalence toward intervening in child rearing and limited national support for primary prevention, several initiatives have been implemented for children and families with some measure of success. The successes, however, are mitigated by limitations of the initiativ…

  • Influence of inner-city environment and Head Start experience on effectance motivation

    Marguerite E Malakoff, J Michael Underhill et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1998

    Effectance motivation was examined in 26 inner-city children attending Head Start, 26 inner-city children with no preschool experience, and 26 middle-class children attending private preschool. Head Start children scored higher on measures of effectance motivation than did their non-Head Start counterparts; their levels were lower, however, than those of the middle-class children. Implications of the findings are discussed

  • Drug-abuse prevention efforts for young children: A review and critique of existing programs

    Nancy W Hall, Edward ZiglerARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1997

    Children under age five are increasingly the target of formal interventions aimed at deterring subsequent drug abuse. These prevention efforts are characterized, however, by a lack of empirical research on the variables involved in inoculating very young children against later drug use, and the lack of assessments research demonstrating their effectiveness. Curriculum-based antidrug programs for preschool children are reviewed, and developmental …

  • Social competence: An untapped dimension in evaluating head start's success

    Open AccessC Cybele Raver, Edward Zigler et al.ARTICLEEarly Childhood Research Quarterly1997Cited by: 22References: 22

    From its inception, Head Start has maintained children's social and emotional adjustment as a primary goal of intervention, but researchers have yet to settle on a consensus definition of social competence that can be used in developmental research and program evaluation. To address this gap in our knowledge base, we offer a comprehensive review of the extant research on children's social skills, including their ability to modulate their feelings…

  • The regulatory status of center-based infant and toddler child care

    Kathryn Taaffe Young, Katherine White Marsland et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1997

    Ten years ago, a review of U.S. center-based infant and toddler care found that not even one state met federally recommended standards of quality with regard to group composition, staff training, and program of care. The present analysis indicates that little progress has been made since then. While most states currently require centers to follow appropriate practice guidelines, standards for staff training were rated as unacceptable in almost al…

  • Supporting children and families in the schools: The School of the 21st Century

    The School of the 21st Century, a model designed to address the soaring need for child care, is housed in an institution already present in every neighborhood-the public school. Its potential to serve as a primary prevention program, through provision of child-care and family-support services for children from birth through age 12, is described. Examples of program effectiveness are offered, and the additional benefits of integration with related…

    Jane Bybee, Ann Kramer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1997

    Of 74 high school students rated on a repression-sensitization continuum, the 17 identified as "repressors" were found to have greater frustration tolerance, better social skills, higher educational performance, and less shy and withdrawn behavior when compared to the 40 identified as intermediates; they also had a greater sense of global self-worth and higher self-image in the scholastic and social content domains. The 17 students identified as …
