This book examines the developmental pathways of children and families from low-resource environments, focusing in on the developmental success stories of children, families, and schools involved in 2 major longitudinal studies that addressed whether coordinated, high-quality services could improve the intellectual and educational competence of children.This professional reference is designed to help readers understand key research findings about positive outcomes to show potential strengths and stimulate thought about how to build on evidence of success. It is based on the National Head Start-Public School Early Childhood Transition Demonstration Project, a United States federal study which researched the effects of Head Start participation on school transitions for at-risk students. The developmental success stories of these former Head Start children and families have major implications for research, theory, and practice in a wide range of child and family services.It is suitable for preschool and school administrators, policymakers, educational researchers, early childhood general and special educators, and graduate students.
