3 days8 hrs confidence: bajar el contenido y las exigencias programáticas
Explanation:
Hola.
Siento discrepar con los colegas, pero yo entiendo todo lo contrario:
En este aspecto de la educación existen dos tendencias:
1 – La tendencia representada por quienes defienden/proponen el aprendizaje temprano (early learning), entre quienes estamos Henry y yo;
2 – La tendencia representada por quienes proponen bajar los contenidos y destrezas enseñadas a los niños, y abogan por la “promoción automática” (me parece que esta política está en práctica en muchos estados de los Estados Unidos);
3 – La tendencia representada por quienes alegan que (1) y (2) son inconvenientes y causan problemas en el desarrollo de los niños, y que la enseñanza debe adecuarse a (¿la edad? y) etapa de desarrollo de los niños. Esta tendencia es la que defiende la maestra en cuestión.

Early Learning Shows Benefits
A growing body of research indicates that getting young children off to a good start significantly contributes to their long-term development and school success. To many people, this knowledge implies that young children should be in deliberately and carefully designed settings to support and advance all aspects of their development. Most often, these settings include preschool, prekindergarten, child care, family child care, and other early care and education programs.
The goals of most of these programs include: (1) to provide supervised environments for young children because an increasing proportion of parents are in the workforce, (2) to respond to scientific studies of brain development that show how important high-quality environments and interactions are to children’s long-term development, and (3) to provide children with a sound foundation for school readiness and later school success.
Because children have unique developmental needs birth to age 5, early care and education programs cannot be constructed as a simple extension of K-12 learning, however. There are special considerations to take into account when creating appropriate and effective programs for young children.
This issue of The Progress of Education Reform 1999-2001 is a guide for policymakers who are considering implementing and/or reforming early care and education practices in their states. The following questions, addressed in this issue, should be considered when designing high-quality early care and education programs for young children:

Direction of curricular influence
Another question to consider is which setting should determine the nature of the curriculum? IN GENERAL, THE TENDENCY SEEMS TO BE TO PUSH DOWN THE CONTENT, SKILLS AND TEACHING METHODS OF THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM RATHER THAN TO PUSH UP PRESCHOOL PRACTICES. EXCEPTIONS TO THIS PATTERN INCLUDE MODELS SUCH AS HIGH/SCOPE AND MONTESSORI, BOTH WHICH BEGAN AS APPROACHES TO PRESCHOOL CURRICULA AND HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO CURRICULUM PRACTICES IN KINDERGARTEN AND THE PRIMARY GRADES. http://www.ecs.org/clearinghouse/27/21/2721.htm
