Words of Inspiration and Motivation

"High hopes made Head Start possible. Some of the hopes of the mid-1960's were naïve, some led to inflated promises that no social program could possibly deliver, but we need to recapture the hope, to believe once more that it is possible to set the next generation of American children and families on a course toward a better life." (E. Zigler, 1994)

"Like dispositions, feelings cannot be taught directly; they are experienced and strengthened or weakened in the context of the interactions and activities that give rise to them. However, when a curriculum is focused on a narrow range of academic tasks (e.g. workbooks, lessons in phonics, etc.),it is likely that a substantial proportion of the learners will be unable to work effectively."
