Head Start, Social Control Theory
For America's, nursery children in the ages of three years to five years and who belong to the low-income families, a complete services of progress including social services for their poor families is offered by a nationwide plan called Head Start. To meet particular requirements, about 1,400 community-based non-profit associations and school systems work out exclusive and novel programs. In 1965 the Head Start was started in the Office of Economic Opportunity and is now managed by the Administration for Children and Families.

The Head Start Program was formed on the basis that all children have certain needs which are common and that children belonging to low-income families, in general can profit from a complete program of development designed to meet those requirements. The Head Start method makes the following hypothesis: A child can gain from a complete, interdisciplinary plan to promote progress and development. As the…...

Head Start preschool classrooms prominently emphasize performance standards as a way to assess educational programs for young children. However, this approach is often criticized as not appropriate for the assessment of young children (Hallam et al., 2007). Standards outlined in the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework were developed as an assessment system in response to the need for increased accountability in early childhood care and education. The Child Outcomes Framework was developed in 2000 as an outline for outcomes that are expected for four-year-old children as they leave the Head Start program. The concern about this type of framework is that it potentially results in disconnect between appropriate assessment processes and outcomes.
Hallam et al. (2007) investigated the classroom quality associated with an intervention that linked authentic assessment practices with the Head Start child Outcomes Framework. These researchers conducted this study by observing twenty-six preschool classrooms involved in Head Start. The…...

Zigler, and Muenchow 4)

The part of the program that most stuck with Shriver was the fact that the program proved that it could actually increase the IQs of mentally handicapped children, significantly with the proper implementation of programs, a concept that was not accepted in academics at this time. (Zigler, and Muenchow 11)

The program used the same materials as a traditional nursery school, but in a manner designed to stimulate attitudes and aptitudes necessary for later school success. For example, the children loved to ride tricycles, but were only allowed to do so if they asked for them properly and identified the particular tricycle they wished to ride. Later on, the teachers set up the tricycles in a miniature traffic situation. The children learned to respond to traffic signs and to play traffic officer.

The proposed theoretical framework for this study will focus on our Head Start classroom teachers' perceptions, observations and documentation of the patterns of parent involvement and engagement in their children's education and services provided by the Head Start Schools. In qualitative studies, Glesne (2011) suggests that this approach offers a guide that will lead the student to improve focus on the perspectives, concepts and ideas about parent engagement as seen through the eyes of the classroom teachers. A theoretical approach will be used to apply an immediate understanding of the process by which share information about their practices at home and at school with their children leading the student to discover how involved and engaged they are. The theoretical approach will also present what Head Start teachers and administrators are doing and can do to promote more involvement and engagement. The structure and foundation for the theoretical approach would be rooted in questions to be answered in the project study. The student's perspective and approach for understanding the problem of the lack of involvement and engagement in their education will drive and define the variable that the student will explore. The student will use and present a collection of interrelated concepts that will guide the research and help determine the variables that will be measured (Creswell, 2012).

In this project study, the student plans to show two variables or characteristics of the families who are somewhat involved and engaging in their child's education and the families who are clearly absent in their child's education. In other words, the theoretical framework will research the facts that the student already knows and is predicting the facts that the student does not know is the cause or contributing factors to the lack of involvement and engagement. The variables or attributes of the study will take on the roles of the independent and the dependent variables. In the presentation of the dependent variable, the student intends to explore the predictions for the outcomes showing that the lack of involvement leads to poor results and poor academics therefore a poor head start in life and further (Creswell, 2013). This study will employ an action research approach seeing that we are studying the patterns and behavior of families within an organized population as it relates to an educational institution with a view towards effecting positive changes. This student intends to work and collaborate with others as agents of change (Glesne, 2011). The student thus plans to engage program partners and practitioners in order to develop questions and methods that will provide oversight of this research process and may be asked to help interpret the findings of the study. The methodology will include a pilot study for added reliability and validity. The student intends to use qualitative interviews, observations surveys and quantifiable data (Glesne, 2011).

In order to justify the theoretical framework chosen and identified for this study, this student will interviews/observations, surveys and data collected will reveal the fact that a problem of the lack of parent involvement and engagement does exist. The data collected from all nine Head Start centers will justify the fact that the only a handful out of 698 families do indeed participate actively in their child's education, percentages that are consistent with other Head Start programming (Sakran, 2012). These are important issues because family support represents a vitally important component of Head Start's programming (Singh, 2009). The parents of children participating in Head Start programs are encouraged to take part in program planning as well as program delivery (Jasis, 2013). The experiences of the many Head Start programs to date, though, indicate that there are ongoing problems concerning the absence of one parent in many families, combined with lower literacy levels and inordinately high levels of unemployment among Head Start families that adversely affect the efficacy of the initiatives (Singh, 2009).

In the course of using observations and interviews, the questions asked in the interview using open-ended questions will reveal valuable information showing that the study is justified. Observations in the classrooms with the collection of data will also reveal valuable information that the study is indeed justified. Surveys sent out and evaluated will consist of questions that will give the parents a chance to answer and to report back on their patterns as it relates to their child's education. These results will be matched with some of the documented CLASS Assessment that the Head Start School performs three times a year to show that in some cases parent involvement makes a difference and in order cases it shows what the hypothesis for this study was intended to reveal. In order to gain a clear understanding of the problem, the student feels that the interviewing families in a comfortable setting that is non-threatening to them will give the chance to share feelings as to why they are involved or not involved in their child's education. This interview process will give the student a chance to collect data from families and to later use in the study to analyze thereby justifying the study and to deem the study worthwhile of the problem. Also knowing that qualitative studies are especially relevant with human behavior, the choice of using observations, interview, surveys, questionnaire and even focused groups will serve the direct understanding of the problem as justifiable and worthy of study as it will give a better insight of the problem and a possible development of action driven program that may solve the problem.

The marketing plan includes pricing, the promotion, the product and the placement strategies all of which are meant to increase product/service awareness.

Pricing strategy

Despite being an innovative business concept, the Intellectual Vanity Fair is a start-up company, that doesn't enjoy product notoriety among employers. Therefore, the market entry pricing strategy will be to charge below market practices, namely 15%-20% of expected base salary of future employee, market averages being around 20%-30%. Additionally, as a guarantee of high quality services, if the hired employee leaves its position within 90 days from the hiring date, the company will find a replacement at no extra cost for the client.

head coverings, including veils, hijabs, chadors, and niqabs, worn by Muslim women have come to symbolize the intersectionality between race, status, gender, and power. Discourse on the veil is often paradoxical in nature, as staunch feminists who otherwise champion the rights of the oppressed judge the head covering with a voice of colonial disdain. Unlike estern feminist discourses, which attempt to fuse anti-colonialist and anti-patriarchal sentiments, the Muslim feminist discourse can and often does distinguish between the two to champion the rights of women to choose how to express their identity. Muslim women often straddle the line between allegiance to their gender and allegiance to their ethnicity, culture, or religion. The veil itself has become an ironic symbol of both liberation and oppression, giving rise to meaningful discourse on intersectionality, accountability, and solidarity.
The tone of discourse about Muslim female head coverings has shifted considerably, as more Muslim women have…...

Even in modern times, a disproportionate number of homeless people are Vietnam vets. Obviously, the Vietnam War had an impact on American history. However, the end of the Vietnam War had an ever greater impact on the American psychology.
The Vietnam War was the last open conflict against communism that the United States waged. While the war was theoretically between North Korea and South Korea, it was actually about communist-controlled China, with support from ussia, fighting against the United States and France, over possession of the southern portion of Vietnam. Ideology was strong on both sides. While the Vietnamese may not have strongly embraced the ideals of communism, had they been presented in a vacuum, but many of them were eager to shed the vestiges of colonialism. The French, on the other hand, were not so eager to abandon their interests in Vietnam, making the area a perfect staging area…...

start of western civilization, societies have sought a balance between order and liberty. It has always been the responsibility of government to maintain order for the safety and well-being of its citizens, but questions have remained as to the extent this goal can be accomplished without impeding the natural rights of its citizens, known as liberty. This tension can especially be seen in the documents various documents of England and the United States.
This tension was first observed in English history with the drafting and signing of the Magna Carta, a document which guaranteed the subjects of England the right of due process and limited the power of the king preventing the king from denying any inaliable rights to the people. The Magna Carta was further expanded in England by the English Bill of Rights of 1688. This document further limited the power of the sovereignty and especially reflected the…...

start from the premise that, in some form or other and at some moment or other, people require order and leadership in their lives and, particularly, in their societies. The answer here does not propose to discuss why that is, although, as a general assumption, it may be related to an overall rejection of chaos and what this brings about, especially from what history has taught us about periods of chaos in our lives and society.
Starting with religion, the first notable thing to be analyzed is that, from a philosophical perspective, the world has no meaning to an individual. One is born, goes through life (which usually means working hard to make a living and to survive every single day) and dies. There seems to be no overarching purpose in all this.

So, this is where religion intervenes initially. It gives us a better understanding of things and all religion…...

Launched in the year 1965, the Head Start program cultivates preparedness for school among kids from poor backgrounds by providing them with social, nutritional, educational, health and other relevant services. Ever since its introduction, the program has catered to over 33 million early childhood-age kids (0-5 years of age) and their family members. Figures for 2015 revealed program funding to cater to almost a million expectant mothers and early childhood-age kids at home, educational facilities, and family childcare homes within rural, urban, and suburban communities across America. The program's advantages are being closely scrutinized in the wake of congressional talks to consider reauthorizing it. How successful has the program been? Are there any areas for improvement? This paper will assume the form of a critical analysis and summary of the program; its implications will help inform formal discussions on the subject. Considerable controversy exists regarding whether or not the program…...

benefit analysis of whether the state of Alabama should fully fund an expanded preschool program. Various arguments for and against this idea are discussed. Arguments for increased funding of the state's prekindergarten program include: improved educational success and achievement; significant reduction of the need for grade retention; improved economic status; better health; less need for welfare; and reduced crime rates. Arguments against are mainly based on the huge initial cost of investment that such a program would require. In the end, various calculations find that the benefits outweigh the costs in the ratio of 2 to 1. Several other comprehensive studies on the topic also support the fact that benefits of fully funded State preschool program would significantly outweigh the costs. Studies, tables and calculations are used to support this claim. The challenges that would be faced in the implementation of such a program are then discussed. In the…...

d.). The term "millinery" refers to hats that were produced in Milan at that time, but the name became more generalized after that. In England, millinery started to become fashionable around 1700. The word millinery has been used to refer specifically to women's hat making.
Women's hats were different from men's hats in terms of their social function and their appearance. As social norms changed, so too did women's dress and hats were an important part of personal self-expression or fashion (Steele, 1998). Many women's hats became heavily decorated, in comparison to their plainer male counterparts. Plummassiers, for example, were feather designers who provided decorations for hats (Thomas, n.d.). In the nineteenth century, hats were varied and diverse. They included straw hats, hats with feathers, and bonnets. Bonnets ranged in size and were often very large to protect the wearer from the sun but also to preserve the woman's chaste image…...

More and more, Craig, Jackson and Thomson (2007) argue, policymakers perceive the small business sector "as a potential engine of economic growth. Policies to promote small businesses include tax relief, direct subsidies, and indirect subsidies through government lending programs." These authors stress that encouraging lending to small business purports the Small Business Administration's (SBA's) primary policy objective of the loan-guarantee program. In their study, Craig, Jackson and Thomson (2007) implement empirical research to focus on SBA-guaranteed lending, utilizing a panel data set of SBA-guaranteed loans, they assess whether SBA-guaranteed lending discernibly impacts local economic performance.

Social class, a hierarchical arrangement based on factors such as income, education, and occupation, exerts a profound influence on individual opportunities and outcomes in society. It shapes access to resources, educational attainment, healthcare, and economic mobility, creating distinct advantages and disadvantages for members of different socioeconomic strata.

Educational Inequality:

One of the most significant ways social class impacts opportunities is through education. Children from higher-income families are more likely to attend prestigious schools, benefit from private tutoring, and have access to advanced educational materials. This advantage translates into better academic performance, higher test scores, and....
