My chosen topic for the simulation is: How has the “No Child Left behind Act” impacted the early childhood field since its implementation? I chose this topic because I want to uncover the effects that this policy has had on the children that attend public schools. I have heard many different comments, ideas, and suggestions surrounding this policy and felt it would be a great topic to research more about. I am anticipating limited information available for this subject which is why I’ve chosen to learn about the ways the policy has impacted the early childhood field as a whole versus limiting my topic to one specific area or idea. In doing so, I am hopeful that I will have a better chance at finding enough material to complete this research topic as well as, uncover the intent and effect that this policy has had on the early childhood field.
In constructing the research chart, I have found this chart to be helpful with organizing thoughts, new found words and its meaning. I feel that this chart is one I would like to keep on hand when performing any type of research study. The chart gave me a chance to identify words and meanings, chose a specific topic to focus on, and reflect on the outcome.
I have found that really great resources can be found within the previously taken course material. Therefore, if anyone is looking for resources some great resources, you can revisit some of your previously studied articles. If anyone has any advice, resources, or insight that might help me with this course and the research process, please share with me. If I can be of help to anyone, please let me know also. I regularly check my e-mail.

Chantell, that is an interesting topic to research. I would be interested in finding out how the whole no child left behind has impacted early childhood. I have chosen to do a simulation on how Head Start has affected learning gaps. It will be interesting in finding out how the topic you have selected has affected early childhood in general.
