The lack of quality programs in the Untied States is evident in the significant percentage of children starting kindergarten without the necessary skills to do well in school. This new report provides baseline data about states early childhood education programs. Researchers found: Twenty-eight states provide preschool programs to 3- and 4-year-olds, without restricted access for 3-year-olds. Twenty-one states give enrollment priority to low-income children and children with other risk factors for all state-funded preschool programs. Eight states and the District of Columbia require all early childhood teachers to have a bachelor s degree and early childhood workers to have at least a child development (CDA) credential or equivalent.

B ritish C olumbia C onfederation of P arent A dvisory C ouncils BCCPAC Presents a Paper on Technology in Education BCCPAC PRESENTATION TO MARCH 29TH, 1999 INTRODUCTION We appreciate the opportunity to be here today on behalf of the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils. Technology in education is a critical issue for most parents. We believe all B.C. students should have the opportunity to become technologically literate. This will be critical for them as individuals, as they pursue further academic or career goals, as well as for us as a society to meet the challenges of the 21st century. As our society continues to evolve to a knowledge-based economy, it will be necessary for our students to have the technological skills to live, learn and work in a global, digital age. In order to enable all students to achieve technological literacy, our education system should provide appropriate curriculum, trained and motivated teachers and sufficient resources and facilities. During our presentation today, we would like to address the four questions that your committee has posed to the partner groups, as well as to highlight some additional issues and concerns of parents in the area of technology in education.

Volume 10, No. 3 British Columbia Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils February1999 In This Edition President's Message Strategic Plan Goals Reflect BCCPAC's Vision Advocacy Project Report Released Celebrating 10 Years in the Evolution of PACs at AGM ... DPAC Achieves Mixed Results Tackling Use of Videos President's Message Filling gaps in public education funding may divert PACs from their advisory role In reporting on the results of our survey of PAC fundraising ( see press release ), the question of the role of PACs surfaces once again. BCCPAC has long maintained that, although fundraising is one function undertaken by many PACs, its primary role or purpose is to advise on matters relating to the school. As parents we all want the best for our children. However, we need to ensure that the system does not come to depend on parents to fill the gaps created by inadequate funding or inappropriate allocation of education dollars. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education to fully fund the educational requirements of every student in B.C. School boards, in cooperation with district staffs, ensure that funds are allocated in an efficient and effective manner to meet the needs of the students in their districts. As parents, we need to continue to press for accountability in public education funding and for open dialogue on the level and allocation of education funding. At the school level, budgets should be open for discussion to ensure there is an understanding between the administration and staff and parent community of funding allocations and any resulting deficiencies. The voice of parents can then address these issues through pressure on the school board and/or Ministry of Education to correct funding deficiencies for the school.

Parent and Community Involvement Internet Resouces National Education goals for the year 2000 state that "every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children." These goals can be met through involvement on multiple levels and by multiple participants: Schools can involve parents in the decision-making process educating and training them in curriculum, budget, reform and other issues; facilitating their participation in course selection and student placement; and providing parents with current information on school policies and student performance. Teachers can help parents become more involved in the education of their children by integrating parent involvement activities into the curriculum and being sensitive to difficulties that may hinder their involvement. Parents can construct a relationship with schools and teachers through a variety of strategies , such as personal communication with teachers (notes, phone calls, meetings), asking the teachers for regular feedback (positive as well as negative), volunteering to assist with school activities, and monitoring their child's homework.
