Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI find it ironic you posted the website/resource for CYFER! I am attending the 2011 DoD/USDA Family Resilience Conference. Serving Military children and youth, it is important that I stay up to date on the most current findings and best practices on how to keep families connected and resilient through deployments! Thanks for sharing.
When I pulled up your link for CYFERnet, the first thing I saw was the "hot topic" on School Readiness. One of the resources I chose for discussion this week was "Where we stand on school readiness" from the NAEYC.
ReplyDeleteI like the Earlychildhood.com website, not just for the articles that it gives but it also offers really cheap educational materials.
ReplyDeleteLooking through the CYFERnet I thought it was really neat. They provide the research results to creat new programs for young children.
Good post
