Journal Examines Racial and Ethnic Differences in School Readiness
The Spring 2005 issue of the Future of Children, titled School Readiness: Closing Racial and Ethnic Gaps, focuses on children’s lives before they begin school in an effort to understand how to close racial and ethnic gaps in educational outcomes. The volume is the first joint publication of the Future of Children by the Brookings Institution and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. The journal articles discuss the following eight topics as they relate to school readiness: (1) testing of children at school entry, (2) family socioeconomic resources, (3) genetics, (4) neuroscience perspectives, (5) low birthweight, (6) health disparities, (7) parenting, and (8) early childhood care and education. The executive summary and full text http://www.futureofchildren.org/pubs-info2825/pubs-info.htm?doc_id=255946 are available.
