Burchinal, Margaret; Foster, Tiffany; Garber, Kylie; Cohen-Vogel, Lora; Bratsch-Hines, Mary; Peisner-Feinberg, Ellen – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) programs typically improve early academic skills, but those gains too often disappear after children transition to elementary school. At least three hypotheses explain this "fade-out" of Pre-K effects: Pre-K does not focus on the "trifecta skills" that uniquely support subsequent learning and…

Cahill, Maria; Hoffman, Hayley; Ingram, Erin; Joo, Soohyung – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2022
A recent trend in public libraries' children's services emphasizes the role of promoting school readiness. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the school readiness efforts present in storytime programs, this study observed and scored 68 public library preschool storytime sessions presented by 35 storytime providers across three states using…

Wiltshire, Cynthia A. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2023
Detrimental circumstances (e.g., poverty, homelessness) may affect parents, parenting, and children. These circumstances may lead to children being labeled "at risk" for school failure. To ameliorate this risk, more school and school earlier (e.g., Head Start) is offered. To improve child outcomes, Head Start teachers are expected to…

Finders, Jennifer K.; Budrevich, Adassa; Duncan, Robert J.; Purpura, David J.; Elicker, James; Schmitt, Sara A. – AERA Open, 2021
The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) is a widely administered measure of classroom quality that assesses teacher-child interactions in the domains of Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support. We use data from an evaluation of state-funded prekindergarten provided to 684 children from families with low incomes…

The present study reports associations between features of directly observed classroom processes and school readiness skills across the academic year for 1498 children enrolled in publicly funded pre-K programs in a large and diverse county. In models adjusting for a range of child and family covariates, evidence was detected for the separate, and…

Garber, Kylie L.; Foster, Tiffany J.; Little, Michael H.; Cohen-Vogel, Lora; Bratsch-Hines, Mary; Burchinal, Margaret R. – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: The present study examined the transition practices reported by 59 pre-kindergarten (pre-k) and 186 kindergarten teachers in the rural Southeastern United States, and asked if transition practices related to skills at the beginning and end of kindergarten for 387 children. Analyses indicated kindergarten teachers offered more…

Aikens, Nikki; Nguyen, Tutrang; Harding, Jessica F. – Mathematica, 2021
One widely used tool that captures the process quality of preschool classrooms, including interactions between teachers and children, is the Classroom Assessment Scoring System-Preschool (Pre-K CLASS; Pianta et al. 2008). The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded Mathematica to conduct a literature scan to search for recent studies analyzing…

Schmitt, S. A.; Duncan, R. J.; Budrevich, A.; Korucu, I. – Early Education and Development, 2020
Research Findings: The aim of the current study was to examine the extent to which the effects of preschool classroom quality on children's mathematics is moderated by executive functioning (EF) during the preschool year. The study sample included 102 children (M age = 53.57 months [SD = 5.42]; 49% male) and one of their parents recruited from 26…

Piasta, Shayne B.; Farley, Kristin S.; Mauch, Susan A.; Soto Ramirez, Pamela; Schachter, Rachel E.; O'Connell, Ann A.; Justice, Laura M.; Spear, Caitlin F.; Weber-Mayrer, Melissa – Grantee Submission, 2019
Professional development (PD) is a potentially important mechanism for enhancing classroom practices and children's learning. In this large-scale randomized controlled trial, we examined the effectiveness of language and literacy PD, with and without coaching, offered at scale to early childhood educators (n = 546) across one state. Relative to…

Sabol, Terri J.; Ross, Emily C.; Frost, Allison – American Educational Research Journal, 2020
Most accountability policies monitor Head Start quality at the center level by selecting a subset of classrooms within a center to represent quality. This study explores variation in classroom quality in Head Start and implications for accountability systems and children's well-being. We find that one third to one half of the variation in quality…

Bassok, Daphna; Magouirk, Preston; Markowitz, Anna J. – AERA Open, 2021
Despite substantial federal, state, and local investments in improving early care and education (ECE), we know little about whether ECE program quality has improved over time. The lack of data tracking the quality of publicly funded ECE programs at scale creates a substantial evidence gap for policymakers attempting to weigh the returns on, and…

Guerrero-Rosada, Paola; Weiland, Christina; McCormick, Meghan; Hsueh, JoAnn; Sachs, Jason; Snow, Catherine; Maier, Michelle – Grantee Submission, 2021
General measures of process quality are widely used in the early childhood education (ECE) field. However, the evidence regarding associations between the most widely used process quality measure, the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS; Pianta et al., 2008), and children's school readiness gains during the preschool year is mixed. Using…
