Predicting Acceptance of Diversity in Pre-Kindergarten Classrooms
Sanders, Kay; Downer, Jason
Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v27 n3 p503-511 3rd Qtr 2012
This study examined classroom-level contributors to an acceptance of diversity in publicly supported pre-kindergarten classrooms across 11 states. Classroom composition, process quality, and teacher characteristics were examined as predictors of diversity-promoting practices as measured by the ECERS-R, acceptance of diversity construct. Findings reveal that emotional climate, bilingual classrooms, family poverty levels within classrooms, and Latino teacher ethnicity are predictive of diversity-promoting classrooms; while classroom-level ethnic sameness to teacher prohibits diversity-promoting practices in pre-kindergarten classrooms. (Contains 3 tables.)
