Sheridan, Sonja
Early Child Development and Care, v166 p7-27 Feb 2001
Examined whether preschool quality could be enhanced through competence development in teaching staff simultaneous to organizational changes and financial cutbacks. Tested a model for competence development with an intervention group that took part in a competence development program. Found that the development work led to a higher quality in eight of nine preschools. (TJQ)
