The Effects of Teacher Qualification, Teacher Self-Efficacy, and Classroom Practices on Fifth Graders' Literacy Outcomes (2012, background): “For example, teachers’ qualifications, including their experience and years of education, were deemed necessary but not sufficient for improved classroom teaching or student academic performance (Cohen, Raudenbush, & Ball, 2003; Early et al., 2007; Wayne & Youngs, 2003).”
Inequality in Preschool Quality? Community-Level Disparities in Access to High-Quality Learning Environments (2016, background): “…measures of quality are predictive of process quality (Burchinal, Cryer, Clifford, & Howes, 2002; Phillipsen, Burchinal, Howes, & Cryer, 1997), other research has noted few, if any, associations between process quality and structural quality (Early et al., 2006, 2007; Mashburn et al., 2008).”
A Course on Effective Teacher-Child Interactions (2012, background): “The failure to find systematic associations between degree status and program quality or child outcomes suggests that simply requiring a bachelor’s degree will not guarantee positive outcomes for children in early childhood programs (Early et al., 2007).”
Preschool Teacher Well-Being: A Review of the Literature (2014, background): “Studies have focused on teachers’ education levels and classroom quality (Early et al. 2007; Miller and Bogatova 2009; Ryan and Ackerman 2005; Torquati et al. 2007), turnover (Bridges et al.”
Quality in Kindergarten Classrooms: Observational Evidence for the Need to Increase Children's Learning Opportunities in Early Education Classrooms (2009, background): “Although a meta-analysis of 32 studies of early childhood classrooms indicated an association between teacher education and quality in early childhood settings (Kelly & Camilli, 2007), recent findings from pre-K classrooms indicated that there are very few systematic associations between teacher edu”
Mathematics Education for Young Children: What It is and How to Promote It (2008, background): “The undergraduate degree—even with a major in early childhood education—is not a good predictor of classroom quality and children’s academic outcomes (Early et al., 2007).”
Quality Improvement in Early Childhood Teacher Education: Faculty Perspectives and Recommendations for the Future. (2009, neutral): “Despite this potential, recent reports describing a reanalysis of data from seven large-scale studies of child care and early education (Early et al., 2007) and from a multi-state prekindergarten study (Early et al., 2006) give cause for concern about whether the benefit of having teachers with a…”
Effects of Video Interaction Guidance on early childhood teachers (2010, background): “Policies aimed at increasing teacher quality should therefore not only focus on increasing teachers’ education, but also aim at sustained professional development (Early et al., 2007).”
Teacher–Child Interactions in the Classroom: Toward a Theory of Within- and Cross-Domain Links to Children's Developmental Outcomes (2010, result): “, 2006); however, this link has not been found in recent studies of pre-kindergarten programs (Early et al., 2007).”
The Role of Psychological and Developmental Science in Efforts to Improve Teacher Quality (2010, background): “, teachers’ educational experiences, preparation, certification) have not been reliably linked to effective teaching practices that result in student achievement gains (Darling-Hammond, Berry & Thoreson, 2001; Early et al., 2007; Goldhaber & Brewer, 2000; Palardy & Rumberger, 2008).”
Why poor children are more likely to become poor readers: the early years (2014, background): “First, the beneficial effect of preschool and early education on literacy and academic outcomes is dependent on the quality of the early educational environment (Anders et al. 2011; Cunningham 2008; Early et al. 2007; Magnuson, Ruhm, and Waldfogel 2007).”
Early Childhood Teachers’ Well-Being, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion in Relation to Classroom Quality and Attitudes Towards Challenging Students (2015, background): “structure variables (such as class-size, teacher–child ratio, classroom organization, and materials) (Early et al. 2007), and teacher–student relationships (Jerome et al.”
Teacher Education, Book-Reading Practices, and Children's Language Growth Across One Year of Head Start (2009, background): “It is suggested that one way to fill this gap is to measure teacher behaviors within the classroom (Early et al., 2007).”
