Inclusion of children who speak languages other than English and Spanish at home, esp in effectiveness studies (requires validation of widely used measures such as WJ and PPVT in other languages)

Families and practitioners. It's still unclear what teachers DO in the classroom in real-life (beyond research projects)
No lit on child agency!

What methodologies might be used to evaluate effectiveness of curriculum strategies and approaches that are responsive to specific communities and cultures, so those approaches might be shared and used more widely?

Need better research focused on underlying pedagogies and philosophies of learning.

This is a major gap in the literature, especially on effectiveness - lack of understanding about which pedagogies / philosophies best support children's learning

How do curricula tailor to and support linguistically, culturally diverse children?
How does PD build on and develop teachers' and admins' intercultural and multilingual competency?
How can curricula learn from and integrate practices described in indigenous/tribal curricula?
How can family engagement look more bilateral and co-constructive?

# data[].attributes.body
- more research needed overall on curricula that is most widely used – different types (designs) of studies would be informative
- more research on effectiveness of local curricula
- more research on culturally relevant/appropriate curricula

# data[].attributes.body
- implement studies that are designed to examine subgroup differences; this might include longitudinal studies
- more research that gathers information about student experiences (e.g., qualitative studies)

Although the focus is the USA, there is great research being conducted on
-multilingual education
-technology education
-arts/music education
in preschool curricula, internationally (UK, Australia, etc.)

-How can we best use the curriculum to guide communities of practice or teacher collaboration?
-How to get the context ready? --> Teacher buy-in & mentorship
-Study the black box of coaching?
-How can we create a model of PD/coaching, a relationship-based phenomenon?

The idea of not only looking back at infants and toddlers but also looking forward to later grades and making sure that curriculum is aligned across grades and developmental phases

Maybe we can each lead one section of final presentation (depends on who is able to attend, think this still has not been scheduled by NASEM?)

I imagine the committee will have read or will be about to read the report by then. A focus on the recommendations and what led us to them might be quite useful

# data[].attributes.body
Need to strike balance between fidelity of implementation and responsiveness of curriculum to communities and families. How can curricula be designed to be flexible in this way while still implementing successfully?

# data[].attributes.body
did we "build a consensus definition of high-quality pre-k curriculum"?

# data[].attributes.body
How's the committee going to disseminate this?
TARGET EDUCATORS!! WIDER COMMS

# data[].attributes.body
- more $$ for research in topical areas
- research led by racially marginalized scholars
- funding for local / homegrown curricula

# data[].attributes.body
Info targeted to educators

# data[].attributes.body
would be great to actually interview curriculum authors!

# data[].attributes.body
More on specific topics, also more research led by authors that represent communities that have been excluded from reesarch in past, and more family voices in research

# data[].attributes.body
that would fill in the gaps especially for communities that are not well represented in existing curricula

PD... what do we need to know more about?

# data[].attributes.body
What is a model, curriculum dropped into a context, relationships, modes and content of PD, time and bandwidth of teachers and coaches/mentors/facilitators, etc. Not just holy grail of curriculum, but also what is readiness in the context.

# data[].attributes.body
the curriculum itself should have an element of co-construction, for teachers.. and really embracing the idea of curriculum as a living document that evolves also based on who the community is and what the needs are

Meaning that even the ideal curriculum will not be successful in promoting kids' learning if it is not situated within the right environment at the right time. The environment has to be ready to take it up. There needs to be teacher buy-in, time for teachers to learn the new curriculum and become experts at it, supports within the program to implement it, time to "get good" at delivery the curriculum. There has to be full investment in the "environment" to be able to take up the curriculum

I wonder if this is where we can put the curriculum guide that I have been working on for the Gates project? It is a curriculum guide that is mostly designed to get folks to evaluate literacy curriculum, specifically the books that are related to use for it

I am wondering if we should provide an image of the curriculum and the environmental supports it needs to be successful
