Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to announce plans to spend big on babies and toddlers, significantly expanding a range of programs, from helping parents care for their small children at home to identifying developmental delays early. In his first budget proposal, which is due to the Legislature by Thursday, Newsom plans to propose $100 million to expand a home-visiting program — in which nurses and social workers visit young, low-income parents to give health and parenting advice — and another $100 million for developmental screenings, according to a document provided by a source close to the Newsom transition team..

School Leaders Now (commentary)
Anne Rubin, a contributor for School Leaders Now, writes: "We've all been there before. You think you're going to have a routine parent meeting, but you soon discover — too late — that you are sitting across from a ticking time bomb. When an angry parent lets loose, you, as an administrator, are often the prime target. Even for a seasoned principal, angry outbursts can leave you rattled for days. It's up to you to learn how to diffuse these anger bombs before they take out any more casualties."

Within days of being sworn in as California's chief executive, Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to put forward a three-year plan to achieve universal preschool in California for all low-income 4-year-olds, in an attempt to implement a campaign promise pledging a major expansion of early education programs. What's more, the ambitious plan will call for full-day preschool, according to a document provided by a source close to the Newsom transition team.

Entrepreneurs are launching innovative projects to support young children and their caregivers, but the investment pales compared to the investments aimed at children in kindergarten through 12th grade, says a new report from a philanthropic investment group. The Omidyar Network is trying to draw more interest to public and private investment in the early years. In the report "Big Ideas, Little Learners", released Jan. 9, the network shines a spotlight on several organizations that are already doing work in early childhood, and describes areas where more investment would be transformative.

Education DIVE
When researchers at Vanderbilt University released findings showing students who attended Tennessee's state-funded pre-K program were more likely than those who didn't to be referred to special education, and were just as likely to be retained, they suggested teachers in the early grades might not be building on the knowledge and skills many young children are now bringing into kindergarten with them.

We know that early learning can set up a child for success. A study done by researchers at Penn State University found out just how early that learning should start — by age 2. For this study, parents filled out surveys about how many words their 2-year-olds knew, and then the researchers checked in with them three years later when their children were in kindergarten. The toddlers with a large vocabulary were more likely to start kindergarten ready to read and learn math. It turned out that they also paid more attention in class and were better behaved. This may also be why some kids do better than others in school.

 A group behavior contingency is a classroom management system designed to proactively support appropriate classroom behavior. Groups or teams of students are rewarded for exhibiting appropriate or desirable classroom behaviors rather than being punished or reprimanded for exhibiting inappropriate or undesirable behaviors. Why use a GBC? Gimmicks like names on the board, check marks, and loss of recess don't work and are self-shaming to students.

A new poll from the First Five Years Fund finds that a majority of self-identified Democrats and political independents queried want to see more money invested in early-childhood programs, even if that boost in funding would be perceived as a win for the Trump administration. Seventy-eight percent of Democrats and independents said they want to see more money for early-childhood programs even if it means the current presidential administration can take some credit for the increase.
