Behavioral Self‐Regulation, Early Academic Achievement, and the Effectiveness of Urban Schools for Low‐Income Ethnic Minority Children
The independent and joint associations between child behavioral self‐regulation ability and school effectiveness in relation to academic achievement were examined in a sample of low‐income African American ( n = 132) and Latino ( n = 198) children attending kindergarten and first grade across a large metropolitan area. Child behavioral self‐regulation and school effectiveness were positively associated with both reading and mathematics performanc…
