The K-3 Formative Assessment Consortium is a group of states developing a formative assessment for use in K-3. This issue of their newsletter, produced by Child Trends, focuses on professional development related to formative assessment.

Early Childhood 

Reducing disparities in school readiness 

Though recent research has documented positive outcomes for those Hispanic children who enroll in center-based early care or pre-K, a recent report fromCLASP identified racial disparities in the use of three programs meant to provide affordable early care and education to low-income families: Head Start, Early Head Start, and child care subsidies. Anew blog postfrom the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families sheds light on possible explanations for these findings, and solutions.

Improving opportunities for low-income youth

Child Trends conducted an implementation evaluation of youthCONNECT, a collaboration of government, philanthropy, nonprofits, and evaluators aimed at improving opportunities for low-income youth. We found that while the initiative enabled partner organizations to reach more youth, it also led to positive changes within the organizations themselves. youthCONNECT is a major initiative of Venture Philanthropy Partners.

Announcing the“Dreamers without Borders” Program

Announcing the“Dreamers without Borders” Program
​
New York, N.Y., June 8, 2016.- The U.S.-Mexico Foundation (USMF) and the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE) through the Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior (IME) are happy to announce the 2016 Delegation of the Dreamers without Borders Program.  
 
Dreamers without Borders reconnects Dreamers of Mexican origin who live in the United States with their country of origin, for the purpose of contributing to their empowerment by promoting a sense of identity and renewed pride in their cultural heritage. The Program also fosters a commitment amongst Dreamers to stay connected with Mexico and to promote greater understanding between their country of origin and the United States.
 
“We are happy to collaborate, for a second occasion, with the USMF in this unique initiative. The Program is aligned with the SRE’s commitment to support the development of Mexican youth and to connect Mexicans abroad with Mexico”, said Eunice Rendon, IME’s Executive Director. “The 2016 Delegation will provide participants with the opportunity to learn first-hand about Mexico’s current socioeconomic and political context and cultural heritage.”
 
In July 2015, the USMF and IME took a delegation of 30 young Dreamers to Mexico. For 2016, their plan is to take between 75 and 100 Dreamers from the US to Mexico for a month-long stay from December 7th, 2016 to January 3rd, 2017.
 
For the 2016 Delegation, the USMF has brought together several organizations to work together in support of Dreamers without Borders. The USMF has cooperated with the States of Guanajuato, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacán, and Puebla, several US based “Federaciones” and “Clubes de Oriundos” from these Mexican states, as well as with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights in addition to the IME.
 
“We are proud of the partnerships established for the 2016 delegation because they allow us to offer Dreamers a truly unique agenda filled with memorable activities that will include a stay in Mexico City, and in the capital of their state of origin”, said Rebeca Vargas, USMF’s President & CEO. “Through these delegations, we look to empower young leaders committed to promoting binational understanding and collaboration while continuing to build a network of Mexican Americans connected with their country of origin”, added Rebeca.
 
Dreamers have until June 24th to apply to participate in the Program. They only need to fill out a form, present an essay or video, and include a letter of recommendation.

Health Crisis Surges in Puerto Rico

6/9/2016

Health Crisis Surges in Puerto Rico
Posted: 01 Jun 2016 02:15 PM PDT
Zika virus.
A $73 billion debt crisis.
Puerto Rico has been in the news a lot lately, but what’s the truth about health in this unincorporated U.S. territory with a 99% Hispanic population?
Our friends at the Kaiser Family Foundation put together a fantastic 8-part Q&A about Puerto Rico, including several health indicators.
Here are some key takeaways:
People are older. The percentage of adults age 65 and older rose 22% from 2006-2014.
People have worse health overall. About 35% of adults in Puerto Rico report fair or poor general health, compared to 18% in the U.S. They also have higher HIV rates.
More people have health insurance. Less people are uninsured in Puerto Rico (6%) than in the U.S. (12%). But almost half are covered by Medicaid due to high poverty, and high unemployment.
Zika virus is a growing problem. “The first case of locally-acquired Zika virus in the [U.S.] was reported in Puerto Rico in December 2015, and the number of cases on the island have climbed to 903 as of May 25, 2016, and are expected to grow,” according to the report.
These health issues are compounded by a debt crisis.
“The debt crisis is making it more difficult for the island to respond to these issues,” according to the report. “Delayed payments by the government to Medicare and Medicaid managed care plans have caused a cascade of payment delays to medical providers and suppliers, and there have been reports of power and water shortages in hospitals, delays in the arrival of medical supplies, the laying off of hospital workers, and the closure of hospital floors and service areas. As the number of Zika cases mount, Puerto Rico’s health care system and economy is likely to face even greater challenges.”

How Latinos Can Stay Active During Retirement

How Latinos Can Stay Active During Retirement

Physical activity plays a huge role in mental health, particularly as you age. Though aging takes a toll on your body, it’s no excuse to become sedentary. Aging does not prevent exercise; it simply means you need to find new ways to do it. Here are a few ways Latinos  can stay active and keep their minds healthy during retirement.
Daily or Weekly Walking GroupsA popular way for seniors to exercise is joining walking groups. Seniors that live close together can get together and schedule regular neighborhood strolls. These walks are a great reason to leave the home and be social.
Studies are finding that morning walks are extremely beneficial for mental health while the group aspect is perfect for seniors who often struggle to find ways to socialize. Though it doesn’t replace a full gym workout, it’s a good alternative for seniors who may not be as able-bodied as they once were.
Swim Aerobics ClassesSwimming is a low-impact form of exercise that is ideal for aging joints. It builds muscle and improves flexibility. Joining a swim aerobics class at the local pool offers more incentive to leave the home and is a good opportunity to get to know classmates. Of course, the mental and physical benefits of swimming alone cannot be ignored. Simply keeping the body healthy is a good way to maintain the health of the mind.
Returning to WorkWorking during retirement can seem counterintuitive, but in actuality, holding down a part-time job can be very beneficial for seniors. You will be able to keep your mind sharp with the demands of employment and socialize with coworkers and customers.
Tai Chi ClassesTai Chi is a very low-demand form of exercise that works to incorporate the mind as well as the body. This Eastern tradition has risen in popularity for Western seniors because it focuses on balance. Building the sense of balance and the muscles involved is a good preventative measure against falls. Furthermore, these courses are often held outside in the fresh air with your peers.
Bowling LeaguesBowling is a fun way to exercise and be social. Regardless of the season or weather, bowling is accessible and inexpensive. Bowling is great for improving arm and core strength, as well as helping to maintain hand-eye coordination.
Finding ways to exercise as a senior can seem difficult at first. In actuality, there are innumerable ways to keep yourself both social and active as you enter your golden years.
