Research that Benefits Children and Families—Uplifting Stories

Research  can be used to enhance the quality of education.  In Head Start, a research project was conducted to determine ways to improve literacy.  The results of the research was transformed into policy changes for the Head Start centers.  As a result, new techniques were implemented to address reading and literacy goals.  One of the benefits of this research was the start of the Early Start program to start teaching infants to two year olds.  This program has been a success in our area, and it was made possible because of research.

    Tammy,

    Your post helped me to recognize the importance that previous researches have in actual and future days. Since we started this course I have changed the idea I had about research studies, now I see research as the foundation of changes or improvements in the field.

    Thanks Tammy!
