Annotation: This manual contains standards and guidelines for pediatric nursing education. It was the result of a working conference held in Chicago, Illinois between January 27-30, 1994 which was attended by nurse educators from academic and clinical settings.

The manual reviews the theoretical bases of the standards, considers the knowledge needed for the nursing care of children and their families including children with special health needs, and examines ways of learning and developing, courses, and ways of evaluating teaching and learning experiences. For each standard, the manual describes the basic concept, provides a definition and goal statement, and suggests process and outcome criteria.

Annotation: This report reviews the research related to the nation's school readiness goal (that by the year 2000, all children in America will start school ready to learn) and identifies gaps in the knowledge needed to inform policy makers and practitioners. It suggests a framework for thinking about the meaning of school readiness and the factors that may influence it. Individual sections explore the concept of readiness, the contributions of families and communities in achieving readiness, and the contributions of early childhood education programs in achieving readiness. The report encourages practitioners and policy makers to think systematically about how to build supports for child development and readiness into the system and how to remove constraints.
