Rural Kindergarten Teachers' Perceptions of School Readiness: A Comparison with the Carnegie Study.
Espinosa, Linda M.; Thornburg, Kathy R.; Mathews, Michelle C.
Early Childhood Education Journal, v25 n2 p119-25 Win 1997
Compared school readiness as understood by kindergarten teachers in 11 rural Missouri communities with results of national Carnegie study of 7,000 kindergarten teachers. Found that Missouri teachers judged their students as more ready than did the national sample, and a greater portion believed that children are more ready now than five years ago. (KB)
