HOT TOPIC
NC Ready Schools Regional Meetings
In June 2000, the NC Ready for School Goal Team issued a report entitled School Readiness in North Carolina. In that report “school readiness” was defined as a puzzle with two pieces:
The condition of children when they enter school.
The capacity of schools to educate all children, whatever each child’s condition may be.
The NC Ready Schools Initiative will support efforts by local school systems to begin the ready school planning process with each of their elementary schools. To that end, every community and school system is encouraged to begin this effort through development of a local Ready School Planning Team. Such teams should include, but not be limited to the following participants:
Public school leaders (superintendent, teachers, principals, etc.)
Local Smart Start Partnership Representatives
Families
Higher Education Representatives
Early Childhood Educators and other representatives
Faith and Business Community Leaders
Community Leaders
