Throughout this week I have been exploring the NAEYC website. In the newsroom sections and found and article under the press releases that caught my attention. Senator Casey introduced the NAEYC’s recommendations to strengthen the birth to third grade. The Continuum of Learning Act is part of the Call to Action written for the 112 Congress.

It also addresses how states and communities can help. This report has covered everything we have been talking about this week, the impact of economists, science and politicians. The NAEYC used information from the economists, scientists and politicians to help explain the need for high quality care and raise an awareness of the importance of all domains including the social /emotional and approaches to learning that children need throughout their elementary years.
I am excited to learn more about the tiers of the QRIS and how it will help create high quality learning environments for all children.
I was happy to see that there was a senator that is trying to help our children. I don't really hear too much on the news about our children's education and I look forward to reading the report.
