Week 5

This week I was introduced to several key ideas. One specifically is that not only do children benefit from the Head Start program, but also do their families. One in particular I learned about this week was that Head Start offers support for families in ways that directly affect their health and safety. I am not sure if I am reconsidering the focus of my research question because I feel that the information I learned through this assignment still impacts the children directly and their educational outcomes. I am however going to to research several of the references and studies mentioned in this research article, such as the Early Head Start outcomes and FACES statistics.  I feel that my research skills are improving tremendously as I am able to direct my searches to specific results and identify quality information.

  1. Hi Megan! Your post caught my eye since its similiar in fashion to my research question which was more focused on college students and the current state of the economy. However I feel it always starts with the kids! I have an 18 year old daughter so I am always wishing I did things earlier with her. Nevertheless what search engine and strategies did you use for you topics and questions this week? I was all over the ERIC search engine and was wondering if you may have used the same, and how it may have worked for you if so.
