Personal Research Journey

I decided to research poverty and its effects on child development.  During EDUC 6162: Issues and Trends in Early Childhood, I came across information that stated that the city which I work in has the highest poverty level within Harford County.  Ever since I came across this information, I have been interested in finding out more about the effects of poverty on child development.  I am curious to find strategies and resources to help children who are in poverty. 

This research process is a new adventure to me.  I have researched many topics and questions, but not to this extent.  The research chart has really help me understand the importance of terms I did not know previously.  I, also feel that writing the abbreviated literature reviews has provided me with experience that will help me later in my research journey.

  1. Hi Crystal,
    I chose the same topic that you chose. I want to research more on poverty levels in Durham County, because thats the county I work in and I work in the Early Headstart program which is for poverty level families. I talked a little more in debt about the program o my blog, so feel free to read it.
