Measuring School Readiness: Conceptual and Practical Considerations (2006, background): “Although defining quality in childhood settings is itself an ongoing challenge to the field (e.g., Blau, 2000; Phillips, Mekos, Scarr, McCartney, & Abbott-Shim, 2000), and separating the effects of high quality child care from those sociodemographic variables that are often its correlates is often…”
Quality in Kindergarten Classrooms: Observational Evidence for the Need to Increase Children's Learning Opportunities in Early Education Classrooms (2009, background): “…and experience, program funding, location of program, class size, and ratio, have been examined repeatedly in child care settings and pre-K classrooms (Blau, 2000; Burchinal, Cryer, et al., 2002; Burchinal, Howes, & Kontos, 2002; Clarke-Stewart, Vandell, Burchinal, O’Brien, & McCartney, 2002).”
Child Care Quality: Does It Matter and Does It Need To Be Improved?. (2000, methodology): “Other studies (Blau, 2000; NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 1996, 2000a; Phillipsen et al., 1997) employed multiple regression techniques in an effort to isolate the relative impact of different characteristics.”
Teachers' education, classroom quality, and young children's academic skills: results from seven studies of preschool programs. (2007, methodology): “For instance, using data from the Cost, Quality, and Outcomes study, both Blau (2000) and Phillipsen, Burchinal, Howes, and Cryer (1997) found that level of teachers’ education was associated with quality in uncontrolled models; however, once a host of parentand center-level variables known to be…”
Teacher Education, Book-Reading Practices, and Children's Language Growth Across One Year of Head Start (2009, methodology): “Some studies have identified this link by using simple analysis techniques (e.g., zero-order correlations), but the relation disappears when other covariates (parent- and center-level variables) are entered into the model (Blau, 2000; Phillips, Mekos, Scarr, McCartney, & Abbott-Shim, 2001).”
The Costs of Being a Child Care Teacher (2006, background): “They may be less knowledgeable about quality issues, however (Blau, 2000; Ceglowski, 2004; Helburn & Bergmann, 2002; Helburn & Howes, 1996; Morris, 1999; Tran, Shlay, Weinraub, & Harmon, 2004), and thus may also be unaware of how competitive fees hold down teachers’ wages.”
Teacher education, motivation, compensation, workplace support, and links to quality of center-based child care and teachers’ intention to stay in the early childhood profession (2007, background): “Thus, these findings replicate others that indicate specific training for a skill set appropriate for very young children is effective in promoting global quality (Blau, 2000; Burchinal et al., 2002; Sachs, 2000; Whitebook, 2003; Whitebook et al., 1990; Whitebook & Sakai, 2004).”
Mother and father language input to young children: Contributions to later language development. (2006, background): “Since overall level of formal education has also been shown to be associated with child care quality (Berk, 1985; Blau, 2000; Howes, 1997; Vandell & Wolfe, 2000; Whitebook, Howes, & Phillips, 1989), we also scored teachers as having (1) or not having (0) any post-high school formal education,…”
Threshold analysis of association between child care quality and child outcomes for low-income children in pre-kindergarten programs (2010, background): “Some researchers and policy makers have hoped that they could identify “good enough” levels of quality so that they could aim to fund programs that met minimal quality criteria within that good-enough level (Blau, 2000).”
Preschool Teacher Well-Being: A Review of the Literature (2014, background): “There is some evidence to suggest that higher levels of education lead to higher quality classrooms (Blau 2000; Burchial et al. 2002; Howes et al. 1992) which is, likely the basis for many of the recent mandates.”
Early childhood teachers' preparation and the quality of program outcomes (2007, background): “Whitebook (2003a, b) reported several important studies of preschool teachers: Bermuda College Training Program Study (Arnett, 1989), National Child Care Staffing Study (Whitebook et al., 1990; Howes et al., 1992a), Cost, Quality and Child Outcomes Study (Helburn, 1995; Howes, 1995, 1997; Phillipsen”
How Employed Mothers in Australia Find Time for Both Market Work and Childcare (2007, background): “However, negative outcomes are influenced by mediating factors including day-care quality, child characteristics, and family characteristics such as income and parental education (Belsky, 2001; Blau, 2000; Han et al., 2001; NICHD, 1997; Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000).”
