Product Description:

Created for the Stupski Foundation, this document synthesizes recent research and theoretical literature on the special learning needs of urban, underserved students, whom we refer to as "our kids."

Key Ideas:

The report identifies six ways to address their needs:

  • Provide executive function interventions
  • Invest in the research and design of brain-based early childhood interventions
  • Integrate the evidence-based components of effective early care centers into all early childhood programs
  • Scaffold self-regulation in early childhood
  • Support parent scaffolding of children's self-regulation skills
  • Adopt and scale-up effective parent support programs
