Go to U.S. News and World Report (below), they rank US graduate schools by department type.  You will be able to look at the rankings (and why they are ranked that way) and find which school is right for you.  Good luck!

Could it be that the research topic that you have selected in unnecessarily specific? I don't know whether you chose it or it was assigned to you, but when you specify a research topic to this degree you risk not finding much in the way of good information. \n    Should you wish to pursue this topic, my first suggestion would be to look at any studies done in child psych in the 60's. Most were predicated on understanding the after effects of abusive situations. The next stop would be the archives of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They would keep stats on child abuse cases by year and you would be able to get a handle on how child abuse became a much more recognized condition throughout the 60's. Finally, I would Google child abuse research and 60's to find any independent studies by Stanford, Columbia Medical school, Johns Hopkins, University of Michigan which may have taken up this idea. Synthesize their work (while giving proper credit!) and you should have a more than acceptable paper. Hope this helps

It depends on the college, really. You will certainly have to study various forms of child psychology and sociolgy. You'll also take courses in teaching strategies. The best place to look would be your college's website!

I served in the DR; just got back a little over a year ago.  I looked at Peace Corps in part as an alternative to grad school (I'm not much of a student, honestly), but it's great preparation for both further schooling and a career.  PC can use your language skills, and can train you for one of their programs depending on where you're sent.  The PC experience gave me so much more than what I gave up to do it.  You'll learn things and meet people on the microcosmic scale...intimately changing each other's lives.  PC is not a big development program that goes in and plops down a school, aqueduct, or latrines without the participation of the people who will use them, and then leaves the project to decay from neglect.  Because volunteers partner with host country nationals, working on what *they* need and want, the project has a much better chance of sustainability.  If you can handle unstructured, figure-it-out-yourself work, and not a few frustrating or boring moments, go for it....because all the friendships and local successes will be more than worth it.

A friend of mine is currently pursuing his doctorate in U.S. history here at the University of Wisconsin - his dissertation's on African-American athletes in the 19th century. It's a fabulous school and has strong grad programs. You should check it out.

I'm not sure how the international transfer works, your best bet is to contact one on the six places and either email or speak with an academic advisor (admissions may be able to help as well).  Here are the 'steps' to getting a PhD in the US(on average):\n\nAssociate's Degree (this takes about two years and is the lowest of all degrees, you can get one from a junior college, community college, or university...some people get their associate's from a community/junior and then transfer to a university to get the next level...)\n\nBachelor's Degree (this is the degree that most students go for, it takes normally takes four years at an accreditted university)\n\nMaster's Degree (this takes roughly six years, and is usually in preparation for the next step...)\n\nDoctorate (this is the highest level of degree available and takes roughly 8 years to complete)\n\nEach of these degrees build on each other....so when I say that a doctorate takes 8 years that includes getting the rest, but in itself is normally only a 2 year program.  Sometimes you can go directly from a bachelor's to a doctorate, but that's not the typical practice.  There are also specialized degrees (like a law degree...which you go to Law School for, right after recieving your bachelor's, and takes an additional 3 to 4 years to complete).  Sometimes certain things are required before finishing a degree (like a thesis, research, or examination) It is all rather confusing.  The best thing to do is determine what you are using your degree for (do you want to be a psychologist? or just a therapist?  do you want to go to Medical School? ecetera) and then go through the program that will get you there.  If you list a particular use for your degree, I'll try to help you further :).  Good luck, and hope this confusing answer helps!

What are they studying? You question is too broad for us to be of any help. Try doing an internet search on their intended major, on foster kids,their ethnic heritage, etc. There is a lot of scholarship money available but it depends on a lot of factors. Also, don't pay anyone or any "scholarship service" any money-- you can do all the research for free.

The best info, to me, come from the french researcher Piaget.  He used is own children to study the development of a child, on many aspect (awareness, feeding, sensitivity, biological).  Here is a website with all the main researcher links. You cannot have a better answer.\nhttp://www2.yk.psu.edu/~mer7/theorists.htm

There are no legitimate online Ph.D. programs in the U.S.A.  Anybody telling you different is scamming you.

One of my undergrad degrees is Occupational Education.  \n\nMy 3 year old son is in pre-school.  He is a mainstreamed special needs child with downs.  He is very high functioning and has been in early intervention programs since six months age.\n\nThe Pre-k program here is awesome.  We have been in the classrom and observed the teacher and her aids working with the kids and they are thriving and developing exceptionaly well.\n\nWe went and checked it out before we put him in this program which is something I reccomend you do.  But I can not say enough good things about this program and the jump start it gives kids on both an educational and a social skills level.  \nThe spend a lot of time assessing developmental skills and if there are issues will likely spot them quick.  My boy gets his O.T. , P.T., speech, and sign language instruction from board certified therapists and educators, not something easily found at a day care. \n\nExcellent emphasis on communication skills to prep them for  more formal education.   \n\nBy the time these kids are at the Kindergarden age, they are at full speed, minds focused on learning, and are well prepared.  My little guy is up before 6 am and smiling ear to ear, love school, and comes home hunting for more things to learn about.

Try www.gradschools.com. This should give you some of the information you need. If you want to do your ph.d abroad click on search for schools outside the U.S. and then you can click on the degree you want to do your work in. From there it should give you the other info you are looking for. Good luck in your studies.

Working with an early childhood development major can mean several jobs..  it also depends which other courses you take, and how long you continue school.\n\nI know several people who have taken ECD courses to become childcare workers in daycare centers, learning centers, and such.\n\nIf you take the required education for a teaching certificate, you would have the ability to be a teacher.. most likely concentrating on elementary school level.\n\nYou could also take courses and education in counseling... and work towards a child counselor career.\n\nThere really are many options out there.  The best resource I have found when dealing with courses and majors have been the college faculty.  By speaking with those who teach the courses, and counselors supplied by the college, you can gain valuable knowledge on your career opportunities.\n\nBest of luck in your education and your choices!!

There are lots out there.  Check at Rainbow Resource or Timberdoodles (see sources).  Is there something more specific you're looking for (subject, grade)?  My kids aren't quite to HS yet, but I've been looking.\n\nThere's also places like Bob Jones Univ. Press and A Beka Book, with full curriculum programs for HS (all levels, but you asked about HS)\n\nI've also seen 'correspondence' programs, but don't remember any of them right now.
