Predictors of Overweight and Obesity in Early Childhood Leaders in the United States
The Associations Between Instructional Leadership Skills, Practice, Self-Efficacy, and Professional Well-Being for Early Learning and K-12 Leaders in the United States
Leaders in the United States in both the ECE and K-12 sectors often feel underprepared for the role, particularly in the area of instructional leadership. Perceived deficits in preparation can be harmful to the self-efficacy essential for leaders’ job engagement and role longevity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationships between leadership skills, instructional leadership practice and self-efficacy, and professional well-bei…
Head start staff well-being
Within-year teacher turnover and children’s developmental outcomes in Early Head Start and Head Start programs in the post-Covid-19 era
Leading well
Educational leaders have stressful jobs that have only intensified in recent years. They often feel unprepared for the demands of the role; high workloads and time pressures cut into time for personal relationships, interests, and sleep. Research suggests that sleep quality, one particular aspect of sleep behavior separate from sleep duration, is likely an important part of educational leaders’ ability to lead effectively, manage workload and res…

A longitudinal study of Head Start teacher turnover trends and factors
The Head Start teacher paradox
Examining the interplay of teacher well-being, executive function, and adaptability in virtual instruction during Covid-19 disruptions
The documented challenges of the early care and education (ECE) workforce include poor well-being, inadequate compensation, and high turnover rates. The COVID-19 pandemic not only exacerbated these issues, but also imposed additional demands such as virtual instruction, highlighting the need to understand how teachers’ well-being relates to their adaptability in teaching. The present study examined whether early childhood teachers’ well-being is …
The Role of Language and Literacy Skills in Science Learning from Kindergarten to 5th Grade
Despite the acknowledged impact of early science achievement on future success, there is a noticeable gap in research focused on understanding the dynamic longitudinal patterns of children attaining science learning milestones in their early years, as well as few investigations of potential factors that may mitigate gender, racial/ethnic, and socio-economic disparities. This study analyzed nationally representative data from the Early Childhood L…
Parental Expectation, Attitudes, and Home Numeracy Environment in Korea and in the U.S
This present study examined relations among parental math attitudes, expectations, and practice, and preschool children’s math achievement (i.e., parental math practice as a mediator) that may differ between Korean and U.S. samples. We examined measurement invariance to minimize the bias and inaccurate estimates in scores in two samples, which is a common barrier in cross-cultural studies. The Korean sample comprised 232 children (mean age = 54.5…
High‐quality early care and education for low‐income families
High‐quality early care and education (ECE) programs are associated with positive outcomes, especially for children from low‐income families. During the initial COVID‐19 pandemic lockdown many of these families faced an abrupt halt to ECE. Here, we examined how toddlers from economically disadvantaged backgrounds enrolled in high‐quality ECE programs in the United States during the 2020 pandemic ( n = 48) fared on cognitive and socioemotional out…
Early childhood education and early childhood special education teachers’ perceived stress, burnout, and depressive symptoms
The current study examines the relationships between teachers' job-demands and resources, perceived stress, job burnout, and depressive symptoms through an online survey administered to early childhood education (ECE: n = 143) and early childhood special education (ECSE: n = 121) teachers in a western state of the United States. Results showed no difference between ECE and ECSE teachers in their levels of job-demands, resources, perceived stress,…
Physical Well-being in Early Childhood Teachers
Early care and education (ECE) teachers are constantly moving throughout their day with varying physical demands akin to those of athletes. Teachers are continuously bending, stooping, and squatting to lift and carry children as well as sitting on the floor or in child-sized furniture—all activities that require substantial fitness. This said, many ECE teachers have health issues including obesity, diminished aerobic capacity, and perceived stres…
Predictors of Overweight and Obesity in Early Care and Education Teachers during Covid-19
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine individual, sociocultural, policy, and economic predictors of overweight/obesity in early care and education (ECE) teachers to identify modifiable opportunities to enhance the health of this critical workforce. ECE teachers (n = 1434) in the U.S. completed an online survey in late spring to mid-summer 2020. Teachers self-reported height and weight; body mass index (BMI) and weight status …
Neglected Elements of a High-Quality Early Childhood Workforce
Early Childhood Special Education Teachers’ Job Burnout and Psychological Stress
Research findings: All teachers have demanding jobs and work with limited resources. However, working with young children with disabilities may place additional demands on early childhood special education (ECSE) teachers which may impact their well-being. Using the Job Demands and Resources model, the present study aimed to predict ECSE teachers' job burnout and psychological stress by using their job demands, job resources, and professional int…
Challenges in Working Conditions and Well-Being of Early Childhood Teachers by Teaching Modality during the Covid-19 Pandemic
While a global understanding of teacher well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic is beginning to emerge, much remains to be understood about what early childhood teachers have felt and experienced with respect to their work and well-being. The present mixed-method study examined early care and education (ECE) teachers' working conditions and physical, psychological, and professional well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic using a national sample o…
Testing a holistic conceptual framework for early childhood teacher well-being
Physical Activity, Physical Well-Being, and Psychological Well-Being
Seeking personal well-being and life satisfaction during a global pandemic can be daunting, such is the case for early care and education teachers who were considered non-health care essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The potential changes in their physical activity, along with their overall physical and psychological well-being, may have ultimately influenced their life satisfaction. These changes included the potential for increase…

Family child care providers' responsiveness toward children
Living Life in Two Worlds
This qualitative study examined the experiences of Asian international graduate students and spouses with children at a university in the U.S. Participants (n=31) from China, Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan were interviewed regarding their stressors. Some stressors were identified in the answers of the group as a whole: (a) adjustment to a new culture; (b) feeling overwhelmed; (c) language difficulty; (d) feelings of isolation; (e) financial s…

Family child care providers' responsiveness toward children
The role of race in preservice teachers' perceptions of and attitudes towards corporal punishment & child maltreatment
Links among coparenting quality, parental gentle guidance, and toddlers’ social emotional competencies
The present study examined three hypothesized models that describe associations among coparenting quality (as perceived by both parents), parents’ gentle guidance, and toddlers’ social emotional competencies: (a) direct associations; (b) mediational associations (coparenting quality is associated with toddlers’ social emotional competencies through individual parents’ gentle guidance); and (c) moderational associations (co-parenting quality moder…

Child Maltreatment in United States
Child maltreatment represents a serious threat to children's rights and is a grave problem in the US and around the world. It is the second leading cause of death for children in the US. Each year, hundreds of thousands of reports are made to child protective services across the US. A fraction of these reports are made by the alleged victims of child maltreatment. While research into maltreatment reporting has generally focused on adult reporters…
