Major Activities

Activity 2

The early childhood project (dcfs): the early childhood project, a collaborative effort between erikson institute and the department of children and family services, was implemented to serve and meet the needs of young children who are in foster care or are being closely monitored by the child welfare system. Nineteen early childhood specialists based at erikson work statewide to determine what services are needed to address the developmental concerns of children birth through five who have had adverse experiences and are at greater risk for developmental delays. Additionally, erikson faculty provides expertise and counsel to the project as well as opportunities for our students through their practicums. Through this project, erikson staff administers developmental screenings, provides consults, referrals, trainings and resources to families involved with the child welfare system. During fiscal year 2013, erikson served more than 6,700 children and their families.

Activity 3

The early math collaborative: the early math collaborative provides in-depth training in early mathematics to over 200 prek to 3rd grade teachers each year. Through a department of education-funded "investing in innovation" grant, all primary grade teachers at eight chicago public schools attend learning labs, receive individual coaching services, and participate in math-focused grade level meetings and lesson study at their schools. The collaborative is also partnering with the chicago public schools department of math and science to train 1000 teacher leaders at approximately 500 elementary schools district-wide; training focuses on implementation of the newly released common core state standards for mathematics. Professional development and consultation are also provided to parochial schools, educare sites, head start programs, schools in the chicago suburbs, community colleges across the state of illinois, and in kentucky, minnesota, wisconsin, ohio, new york city, and new jersey, and research is conducted on math teaching and teacher training.
