  2. Who Are We Talking About? • 1.5 Million Children Under Age 6 in NYS • 8.1% of Total Population • Fairly Stable Number Same Percentage of Boys & Girls • 21% Living in Households Below Poverty Level • 76% in Two Parent Household • 5% Living with Grandparents • 56% Live in Families Where Both Parents Work Outside Home Source: 2005 American Community Survey, 2007

  3. Chart 1. ELLs as Share of 2005-06 NYC Student PopulationSource: BESIS (ATS) and Official Audited October 31st Register (DIIT), 2005-2006. n=141,173 ELLs General Population n=914,813 There are more than 141,173 current ELLs in New York City schools, or 13.4% of the total student population. N=1,055,986

  4. A regional breakdown of predominate languages among ELLs shows where home languages other than English are geographically concentrated.Chart 9. Predominate Five Languages Among ELLs in Each RegionSource: BESIS (ATS), 2005-06 Region 1 Spanish (90.9%), Bengali (1.2%), French (1.0%), Albanian (1.0%), Niger-Congo (0.6%) Region 2 Spanish (84.7%), Albanian (2.5%), Bengali (2.4%), Arabic (1.7%), French (1.7%) Region 3 Spanish (36.7%), Chinese (22.5%), Korean (8.4%), Bengali (4.3%), Haitian Creole (4.1%) Region 4 Spanish (73.6%), Chinese (7.9%), Bengali (4.6%), Polish (1.9%), Urdu (1.6%) Region 5 Spanish (79.2%), Bengali (6.0%), Punjabi (3.2%), Arabic (1.6%), Chinese (1.6%) Region 6 Spanish (30.9%), Haitian Creole (27.7%), Russian (8.5%), Chinese (7.8%), Urdu (7.1%) Region 7 Spanish (33.0%), Chinese (29.8%), Russian (9.2%), Urdu (6.5%), Arabic (6.0%) Region 8 Spanish (73.9%), Chinese (8.5%), Arabic (4.2%), Bengali (3.8%), Polish (3.1%) Region 9 Spanish (67.5%), Chinese (22.4%), French (1.7%), Bengali (1.4%), Arabic (1.1%) Region 10 Spanish (93.9%), French (1.4%), Arabic (0.6%), Haitian Creole (0.5%), Chinese (0.5%) District 75 Spanish (62.6%), Chinese (5.3%), Haitian Creole (2.3%), Russian (2.1%), Arabic (1.3%) District 79 Spanish (55.5%), Chinese (26.6%), French (4.4%), Haitian Creole (3.4%), Polish (2.5%)

  5. What Does The Research Tell Us? • Excellent Early Starts Are Crucial for Childhood Development • Language (Hart and Risley) • Social/Emotional – Self Regulation/Institute of Medicine • Literacy – Shaywitz • Parental Involvement – Henderson and Knapp • Achievement Gap • How children read by end of 1st grade predicts how they will read at 3rd grade • If intervention is not provided until age 9 – 75% of children will continue to have difficulty in high school • Phonemic Awareness – Fluency – Comprehension • In Middle School: • Low level motivation to read – 100,000/year • Average levels of motivation – 1,000,000/year • High level of motivation – 50,000,000/year

  6. What Does The Research Tell Us? • Longitudinal • Employment • Juvenile Delinquency • Cost Effectiveness • PreKindergarten is Highly Effective • Able to close the GAP - Rochester • Statewide 3rd, 4th Grade ELA Tests • Full Day Kindergarten Impacts: • Academic Skills (Dr. DeSiato) • Attendance (NIEER) • Instructional Program (Hough & Bryde) • 646/677 Districts Have Full Day Kindergarten

  7. What is New York State’s System of Early Childhood in NYS • Very Diverse • Regulated by Many Agencies • Diverse Funding • Private Pay • Child Care Subsidy • Federal Program • Preschool Special Education • Public Pay

(Source: National Center for Children in Poverty, 2007) • In New York State in 2004, the primary setting in which chil- dren birth to 2 years received subsidized care was family home care (46 percent); 28 percent of children 2 and under received subsidized care in day care cen- ters, 20 percent in relative care, and just 6 percent in the child’s home (Figure 52). • In New York State in 2004, the primary setting in which children 3 to 5 years received subsidized care was day care centers (53 percent) followed by family home care (28 percent), relative care (14 percent), and 5 percent of children received subsidized care within their own home (Figure 52). Ages 3 To 5 Years Birth to 2 Years

  12. Checklist • Insists on Intentional Instruction • Is Data Driven • Pays Attention to Dosage / Implementation • Uses Excellent Materials • Sustains Professional Development / Highly Qualified Staff • Builds Administrative Leadership • Insists on Family Partnerships
