One of the biggest challenges in early childhood development (ECD) centres in rural districts is that teachers are not trained adequately and therefore they cannot create learning environments in which young children can develop to their optimal potential. In many cases a large group of children is placed in a classroom and no stimulation is given to them, because the ECD practitioner does not have the knowledge or skills to use what is available in the classroom to stimulate the children and facilitate learning. These teachers are desperately in need of guidance to plan age appropriate and suitable activities that will benefit the overall development of learners and prepare them to be ready for school. By promoting service learning at ECD centres, especially in rural districts, both the in-service and pre-service teachers will benefit from the teaching experience taking place. Since 1994 a great deal of attention has been drawn to the importance of early childhood development and the important role pre-primary education plays in the development of young learners. Early childhood development has the potential to play a crucial role in the socioeconomic transformation of South Africa. By improving the social and economic transformation of the country, more people will be educated, leading to fewer problems with aspects like school readiness and school dropout. Against this background the study will explore service learning as a way of promoting quality learning environments in Early Childhood Centres in rural districts. / MEd (Learner Support), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Da modernização agrícola brasileira até os dias atuais, percebeu-se que as políticas agrícolas em geral favoreceram o já existente desenvolvimento desigual entre as regiões do país. As políticas e programas destinados ao setor agrícola familiar reconhecem sua importância para a economia, contudo é pouco expressivo o reconhecimento das necessidades sociais enfaticamente a educação e a saúde que devem acompanhar e promover seu potencial econômico. Apesar de o Estatuto da Cidade dispor sobre a ordenação e o planejamento do município como um todo, o plano diretor, regulado pelo EC, estabelece um perímetro urbano e considera a zona rural somente para fins ambientais, sob a alegação controversa de inconstitucionalidade. Esta pesquisa acompanha a trajetória da camada intermediária de agricultores, surgida nos ciclos econômicos do Brasil Colônia e que atualmente pode ser representada pelos agricultores familiares, e suas transformações sob as regulamentações das políticas agrícolas em diferentes períodos, até o surgimento da política específica destinada ao setor, em 2006, quando então foram considerados como os principais agentes do desenvolvimento territorial rural. A partir daí, considerou-se a tese central de um redirecionamento das políticas territoriais para efetivamente capacitar esses agentes através de uma integração de políticas, em especial a educacional, de competência municipal, com a intenção de colaborar na identificação de mecanismos que possam aperfeiçoar as ações direcionadas ao desenvolvimento territorial rural. / From the Brazilian agricultural modernization to the present day, it was noticed that the current agricultural policies generally favored the already existing uneven development between the regions of the country. Policies and programs aimed at the family agricultural sector recognize its importance to the economy, but the recognition of social needs that must accompany and promote their economic potential - emphatically education and health - is not very pronounced. Although the City Statute (CS) disposes of the ordination and planning of the municipality as a whole, the Master Plan, regulated by the CS, establishes an urban perimeter and considers the rural area only for environmental purposes, under the controversial claim of unconstitutionality. This research follows the trajectory of the intermediate layer of farmers, which emerged in the economic cycles of Colonial Brazil and which can now be represented by family farmers, and their transformations under the regulations of agricultural policies in different periods until the emergence of the specific policy for the sector, in 2006, when they were considered as the main agents of rural territorial development. From that point on, it was considered the central thesis of a redirection of the territorial policies to effectively empower these agents through a policy integration, especially the educational one, of municipal competence, with the intention of collaborating in identifying the mechanisms that can improve the actions aimed at rural territorial development.

These growers occupy part of one of the last areas in which coffee still exists in Londrina: the rural neighbourhoods of Laranja Azeda and Limeira and the District of Lerroville. The permanence on the land was only possible due to the fact that the coffee plantations have provided jobs and income for the families of the ranchers for more than three decades. However, since the late 1990s, due to the implementation of the model of neoliberal policies in the economy of the country, the Brazilian state, which so far had always set the rules for the functioning of the agroindustrial complex of coffee, left the pitcure, leaving the market in charge of the regulation of the prices of the products.

Results of two nationwide studies indicated inconsistency across states and their districts in relation to many critical elements of RTI. Given these results, a checklist will be proposed to improve consistency in RTI implementation and assessment practices to ultimately help rural school districts more accurately identify students with learning disabilities.
