A second important goal is to improve the connections among these social institutions as children proceed from infancy through high school. Two research programs guide the Center's work: the Program on the Early Years of Childhood, covering children aged 0-10 through the elementary grades; and the Program on the Years of Early and Late Adolescence, covering youngsters aged 11-19 through the middle and high school grades. This Annotated Bibliography includes summaries of all work produced by the Center at this point in time. The Center is a consortium of over twenty-five researchers at several universities. This bibliography will be updated as additional work by Center researchers is completed.
