Early Adjustment, Gender Differences, and Classroom Organizational Climate in First Grade (2009, background): “Research indicates that children’s school functioning is best described within a transactional, ecological system considering the individual in context (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006; Morrison et al., 2005; Pianta & Rimm-Kaufman, 2006; Tudge, Odero, Hogan, & Etz, 2003).”
Teacher qualifications, classroom practices, family characteristics, and preschool experience: Complex effects on first graders' vocabulary and early reading outcomes. (2005, background): “Broadly speaking, converging evidence then points to at least three important dimensions of teaching that influence students’ literacy acquisition directly or indirectly: (1) the classroom environment teachers create, (2) teacher warmth and responsiveness to their students, and (3) the amount and ty”
School Success, Possible Selves, and Parent School Involvement* (2007, background): “…already in a future state—the ‘‘clever’’ self who passed the algebra test, the ‘‘healthy’’ self who lost weight, the ‘‘drop-out’’ self who failed to graduate from high school, the ‘‘offtrack’’ self who uses drugs or becomes pregnant (Oyserman, Bybee, & Terry, 2006; Oyserman & Markus, 1990a, 1990b).”
Preschool instruction and children's emergent literacy growth (2006, background): “These were, presumably, a result of home, sociocultural, and other life experiences prior to the beginning of the school year (Bronfenbrenner, 1986; Morrison et al., 2005).”
Interpreting the Early Language Trajectories of Children from Low SES and Language Minority Homes: Implications for Closing Achievement Gaps (2012, unknown): “…made it clear that family SES predicts not only children’s academic skills at school entry but also their academic trajectories through high school (Alexander & Entwisle, 1988; Brooks-Gunn et al., 2007; Morrison et al., 2005; Stipek & Ryan, 1997; Willms, 2003; Zill, Collins, West, & Hausken, 1995).”
Instruction, Student Engagement, and Reading Skill Growth in Reading First Classrooms (2009, background): “Recently, researchers have produced more information about the importance of morphosyntactic awareness (Carlisle, 2000), motivation (Guthrie et al., 2004), parenting and preschool (Morrison et al., 2005), and child characteristic by instruction interactions.”
The ISI Classroom Observation System: Examining the Literacy Instruction Provided to Individual Students (2009, background): “The ISI classroom observation system explicitly codes salient dimensions of teaching (Connor, Morrison, & Katch, 2004; Connor et al., 2006; Morrison et al., 2005).”
The Effects of Culturally Congruent Educational Technologies on Student Achievement (2013, background): “Increasingly, the persistently lower test scores of students of color as compared to their Euro-American peers have been attributed in part to dialectal differences between students [4; 5; 6].”
