Early Education Program Racial and Ethnic Composition and Associations with Quality and Children’s Language and Social-Emotional Development
Iheoma U Iruka, Kirsten Kainz et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2023
This study identified patterns of classroom and family experiences and developmental outcomes for young children in segregated early education.

The analysis examined patterns of association between the racial/ethnic composition o…

Tools for Evaluating the Implementation of Complex Education Interventions
Open AccessKirsten Kainz, Allison Metz et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Evaluation2021References: 9
Large-scale education interventions aimed at diminishing disparities and generating equitable learning outcomes are often complex, involving multiple components and intended impacts. Evaluating implementation of complex interventions is challenging because of the interactive and emergent nature of intervention components. Methods that build from systems science have proven useful for addressing evaluation challenges in the complex intervention sp…
The Relation Between Classroom Age Composition and Children’s Language and Behavioral Outcomes
Open AccessTiffany J Foster, Margaret Burchinal et al.ARTICLEChild Development2020
Grouping children of different ages in the same preschool classroom (i.e., mixed age) is widespread, but the evidence supporting this practice is mixed. A factor that may play a role in the relation between classroom age composition and child outcomes is peer skill. This study used a sample of 6,338 preschoolers (ages 3–5) to examine the influence of both classroom age composition and peer skill on children’s behavioral and language outcomes. Res…
The Educare intervention
Open AccessNoreen Yazejian, Donna Bryant et al.ARTICLEEarly Childhood Research Quarterly2020Cited by: 5References: 7
The effectiveness of Educare, a center-based early education program, in improving child outcomes at age 3 was evaluated in a randomized clinical trial. Educare programs serve children from birth to age 5 and are designed to reduce the achievement gap between children from low-income families and their more advantaged peers. This study began following 239 children from low-income families who were randomly assigned as infants (<19 months) to Educ…
Co-creative technical assistance
Open AccessNoreen Yazejian, Allison Metz et al.ARTICLEEvidence & Policy2019Cited by: 2
Background A large national technical assistance (TA) centre in the US provides TA to Head Start regions to help strengthen their use of implementation science frameworks. In administration of TA to regions, the centre has used a ‘co-creation’ model. Aims and objectives This paper describes the co-creative TA approach, including level of dosage (frequency and duration) provided, and interim outcomes achieved. Methods The descriptive paper relies …

The Relation of Preschool Child-Care Quality to Children's Cognitive and Social Developmental Trajectories through Second Grade
Open AccessEllen Peisner‐feinberg, Ellen S Peisner-Feinberg et al.ARTICLEChild Development2001
The cognitive ad socioemotional development of 733 children was examined longitudinally from ages 4 to 8 years as a function of the quality of their preschool experiences in community child-care centers, after adjusting for family selection factors related to child-care quality and development. These results provide evidence that child-care quality has a modest long-term effect on children's patterns of cognitive and socioemotional development at…
