Editor's Note

In 1996, Connect for Kids began with the idea that information alone was not enough to push children's issues to the top of the public agenda. While most of us believe that families and communities make the best "first responders" for their own needs, we also know that the resources allocated by our government far surpass what individual families and communities can come up with.

If we want families, kids and adolescents to benefit from better policies and public services, we need to compete effectively in the political marketplace for the limited public -- especially federal -- resources.

In this Update, we offer examples of how far we've come as effective advocates using the tools of the trade -- op eds, Congressional hearings and personal stories -- to make the case that better investments in the least fortunate among us are important for us all. (Read about these in Voices from the Ground.)

President Obama says "...we can upgrade not only our high schools but also our community colleges to provide a sound technical basis for being able to perform complicated tasks in a 21st-century economy... that not only is that good for the individuals, but that's going to be critical for the economy as a whole." (Look in Teaching Skills for the 21st Century.)

Good Work is Not Enough -- It Takes a Chorus to Spread the Word [18]Hershel [19]
The vast majority of community-based youth-serving organizations lack the funding and skills required to best announce their successes, tell the stories from their own communities of how they are making a difference and build sustainable support. In his latest column, Hershel Sarbin of Child Advocacy 360 calls on private foundations, corporate funders and government to offer resources specifically targeted to improving communications.
CFKimgNews from Washington

URGENT Sign On Letter to Support Funding for Home Visiting Services for Low-Income Families
President Obama's 2010 Budget included approximately $8.6 billion in mandatory funding over ten years for quality evidence-based home visitation programs for low-income children and families. A number of groups have written a joint letter to members of the Committees who could have jurisdiction over this new initiative urging them to actively support the President's proposal. If your organization would like to sign on, contact David Laird at Voices for America's Children (laird@voices.org [20] or 202-380-1712) no later than the close of business TODAY, Wednesday, May 20.

Children's Budget [21]Tracking the Details in the President's Budget [22]
In President Obama's 2010 budget request, children's programs saw a $16.7 billion boost over last year's levels. However, the overall level of discretionary spending on children is still below fiscal year 2005 levels. First Focus' Children's Budget project has specifics.
Senate Passes McKinney-Vento Reauthorization [29]End Homelessness [30]
The Senate has unanimously passed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, which includes the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act that reauthorizes McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance programs in schools. The House version does not include the HEARTH Act, so the bill will go to conference stage committee that will decide whether or not the act appears in the final bill.

Family Tax Relief Act Introduced
In every region of the U.S., average monthly child care fees for an infant are higher than the average monthly cost of food. According to U.S. Census Bureau Statistics, those living below the federal poverty line spend nearly one-third their income on child care.
Foster Care Mentoring Act Introduced [33]
The Foster Care Mentoring Act of 2009 proposes to connect children in foster care with responsible caring adults. It would authorize $15 million to establish statewide foster care mentoring programs, $4 million to begin a national public awareness campaign and offer a $20,000 student loan forgiveness program to volunteers who mentor foster youth.
Teaching Skills for the 21st Century

Community Colleges and the Economic Recovery [34]cleveland [35]
"According to Georgetown University's Center for Education and the Workforce, at least 54 percent of the new positions created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will require at least a postsecondary certificate. If the economy is to begin to recover and grow under the president's economic policies, now is the time to better educate America's workforce to fill jobs that require increasingly complex skills," writes Jullian Alssid, Executive Director of the Workforce Strategy Center.

Obama [36]High Schools and Community Colleges for a 21st Century Economy [37]
In an interview with The New York Times, President Obama described a link between individual and national economic success: "I think everybody needs enough post-high-school training that they are competent in fields that require technical expertise... And so to the extent that we can upgrade not only our high schools but also our community colleges to provide a sound technical basis ... I think that not only is that good for the individuals, but that's going to be critical for the economy as a whole."
Voices from the Ground

CFK Banner [40]Voices from the Front Lines of the Economic Crisis [41]
Congressional hearings are a powerful tool for educating not only lawmakers, but the public as well. From Los Angeles to New York, New Orleans to Boston, people most severely affected by the economic crisis gave witness to the need for a shared economic recovery at an ad-hoc hearing convened by the Congressional Progressive Caucus on May 12. The speeches are on the Institute for Policy Studies site (see the middle column).

Youth Voices [42]Students on Being Valued [43]
It's one thing to see data showing that a school program is working, but the success is even more dramatic when you hear the students describe how their lives have changed. Essay winners from the Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program tell how the program helped them do better in school and how they helped their tutees to do better.

Opportunities in Hard Times: Building Out-of-School Time Learning Systems that Last [49]
A number of U.S. cities have been building high-quality citywide after- and out-of-school time systems.

Education News

class [63]Teacher Responses Make a Difference for Young Children [64]
Parents lobby for a specific kindergarten or first-grade teacher for their child because they know that a teacher's temperament or style can make a difference for their child. Robert Pianta has been studying and making explicit how different teaching styles and responses can help or hinder classroom learning. Validated in research in over 2,000 classrooms, Pianta's widely used observational instrument, Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), has been linked to improved student outcomes.

Immigrant Families, English Language Learners and the Future of Education Reform (Forum May 21) [65]urban institute [66]
One fifth of school children have at least one foreign-born parent. Soon, more than 30 percent of all students will come from homes where English is not the primary language. For example, the public schools of Rochester, New York serve students from 35 language groups. On May 21, the Urban Institute is hosting this panel on educating English language learners. If you can't make it in person, you can listen to a live audio webcast.

Congressional Research Service Report on Youth Not Working and Not in School [68]
In its April 2009 analysis, CRS predicts that, given the current state of the economy, we can expect to see higher rates of young people out of work and out of school. Overall, the trend data show that during recessions, when jobs become scarce, rates of youth disconnection increase.
