Andrew J. Mashburn,Robert C. Pianta,Bridget K. Hamre,Jason T. Downer,Oscar A. Barbarin,Donna M. Bryant,Margaret Burchinal,Diane M. Early,Carollee Howes +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of prekindergarten programs in 11 states suggests that policies, program development, and professional development efforts that improve teacher-child interactions can facilitate children's school readiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of preschool child-care quality to children's cognitive and social developmental trajectories through second grade.
Ellen Peisner-Feinberg,Margaret Burchinal,Richard M. Clifford,Mary L. Culkin,Carollee Howes,Sharon Lynn Kagan,Noreen Yazejian +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that child-care quality has a modest long-term effect on children's patterns of cognitive and socioemotional development at least through kindergarten, and in some cases, through second grade, consistent with a bioecological model of development that considers the multiple environmental contexts that the child experiences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ready to learn? Children's pre-academic achievement in pre-Kindergarten programs
Carollee Howes,Margaret Burchinal,Robert C. Pianta,Donna M. Bryant,Diane M. Early,Richard M. Clifford,Oscar A. Barbarin +6 more
TL;DR: The authors examined children's growth in school-related learning and social skills over the pre-Kindergarten (pre-K) year in state-funded programs designed to prepare children for kindergarten.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diane M. Early,Kelly Maxwell,Margaret Burchinal,Soumya Alva,Randall Bender,Donna M. Bryant,Karen Cai,Richard M. Clifford,Caroline Ebanks,James A. Griffin,Gary T. Henry,Carollee Howes,Jeniffer Iriondo-Perez,Hyun-Joo Jeon,Andrew J. Mashburn,Ellen Peisner-Feinberg,Robert C. Pianta,Nathan Vandergrift,Nicholas Zill +18 more
TL;DR: It is found that policies focused solely on increasing teachers' education will not suffice for improving classroom quality or maximizing children's academic gains, and raising the effectiveness of early childhood education likely will require a broad range of professional development activities and supports targeted toward teachers' interactions with children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert C. Pianta,Carollee Howes,Margaret Burchinal,Donna M. Bryant,Richard M. Clifford,Diane M. Early,Oscar A. Barbarin +6 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the extent to which program, classroom, and teacher attributes of the program ecology predict observed quality and teacher-child interactions in a sample of 238 classrooms representing 6 states' pre-kindergarten programs.
