About Resources for Early Childhood
The Resources for Early Childhood (REC) project is a collaboration between the Ohio Resource Center for Mathematics, Science, and Reading and the Ohio Department of Education's Office of Literacy and Office of Early Learning and School Readiness. The REC website seeks to support Ohio's early childhood teachers, parents, teachers of early childhood teachers, and children by providing peer-reviewed, web-based resources to assist with instructional planning, professional learning, and the implementation of the Ohio early learning standards for mathematics, science, English language arts, and social studies. REC, which began serving the Ohio early learning community in July 2006, continues to grow. The home page serves as a portal to the many features you will find on the REC website. They include Early Childhood Bookshelf recommendations as well as Family Connection resources. Early Childhood Building Blocks—best-practice articles—are published each month to support educators and enrich their teaching. In addition, the Interdisciplinary Planning section, called Let's Learn: Inquiry Projects for Ohio’s Young Learners, documents the work of teams of educators from many Ohio preschools and children's centers, featuring new inquiry-based projects that followed children’s interests as they progressed. Be sure to investigate them all! For more information about these and other REC projects, contact Nancy Brannon, Early Childhood Resource Specialist, at nbrannon@ohiorc.org.
