Title: Early Childhood Health and School Readiness: A Public Health Perspective
Friday, October 17​, 3:30pm to 5:00pm, McClelland Park RM 402
Abstract: Researchers, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly focused on efforts to promote children's readiness to enter school as a strategy to improve academic achievement and health throughout childhood and to develop a healthy populace. This seminar will focus on early childhood and school readiness from a public health perspective and will review data from a sample of Arizona kindergarten students that examines early child health indicators and readiness for school.
