From Ascribe Newsfeed: They engaged the brainpower of the design firm IDEO (http://www.ideo.com) to help them navigate a complex challenge: envision tangible steps toward transforming early education to ensure success for the next generation. In turn, the IDEO team immersed itself in the world of early childhood education, conducting observations in classrooms and the homes of parents as well as connecting to experts within and outside of the WKKF network. They also drew on the ideas and extensive expertise of the directors involved in WKKF's SPARK (http://www.wkkf.org/spark) initiative. SPARK is designed to unite communities so that all children can be successful before and after they enter school. The result is a set of solutions outlined in a new publication titled, Tangible Steps Toward Tomorrow; New Designs for Early Education, Ages 0-8. The rationale for this is that these are the three major influences on the child's education, and that they are also discrete and observable groupings, as opposed to broader social or political issues," the report reads. The Communications Consortium Media Center (http://www.ccmc.org) is a resource organization for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's SPARK initiative.
