The school readiness models
Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological model,
Charles Bruner, conceptual framework that recognizes the need for a systemic approach to early childhood development, 2010
Sayers, M., West, S., Lorains, J., Laidlaw, B., Moore, T. G., & Robinson, R. (2012). Starting school: A pivotal life transition for children and their families.Family Matters, 90, 45-56.
(1)Ready children, focusing on children’s learning and development.
(2) Ready schools, focusing on the school environment along with practices that foster and support a smooth transition for children into primary school and advance and promote the learning of all children.
(3) Ready families, focusing on parental and caregiver attitudes and involvement in their children’s early learning and development and transition to school.
All three dimensions are important and must work in tandem, because school readiness is a time of transition that requires the interface between individuals, families and systems.
THE SCHOOL READINESS MODELS
The Philippine school readiness model
Figure 1: “isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat, --bawat bata handa dapat” (one, two, three, four--make every child ready for more) where the 3 interlinked dimensions of school-readiness: home/children/center or school are re-visualized as standing on or supported by the 4th dimension (community). It sends the message that activities in each dimension, (whether stimulating demand or ensuring quality supply) are simultaneous with the rest and not necessarily, rigidly sequential but is driven by available governance structures/mechanisms at the LGU level. “more”= development progress, lifelong learning, life-skills, positive life experiences
