The Relation of Global First-Grade Classroom Environment to Structural Classroom Features and Teacher and Student Behaviors.

National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Early Child Care Research Network.

Elementary School Journal, v102 n5 p367-87 May 2002

Observed 827 first-grade classrooms in 32 states to assess classroom activities and child-teacher interaction, dimensions of classroom environment, and relations to classroom structure and child behavior. Found that first grade is a highly variable experience for U.S. children. Found wide variation in ratings of instructional and emotional support across classrooms unrelated to class size or child-adult ratio. (Author/KB)
