How Do Education and Experience Affect Teachers of Young Children? Research in Review.
Kontos, Susan; Wilcox-Herzog, Amanda
Young Children, v56 n4 p85-91 Jul 2001
Synthesizes research findings on how general education, specialized education, and experiences relate to early childhood professionals' teaching practices. Finds that teachers' formal education relates to classroom quality and effective teacher behavior. Specialized education may be causally related to classroom quality and is correlated with effective teacher behavior. Teacher's experience cannot be consistently linked to classroom quality or effective behavior. (KB)
