Article Synopsis
- This research highlights the crucial role of teacher support in Concept Development (CD) for young children, revealing a predominance of low to mid-quality classroom interactions among 171 State Pre-K/Head Start classrooms.
- The study found that while Emotional Support (ES) and Classroom Organization (CO) dimensions differed significantly across districts, the qualities of CD, Quality of Feedback (QF), and Language Modeling (LM) remained largely similar, indicating a need for improvement in instructional support.
- Despite children making some developmental gains, the data revealed concerning levels of cognitive and language skills, particularly among boys, and suggested no significant correlation between interactional quality and children's overall development.
