Examining concept development classroom interaction quality and children's developmental progress in state pre-K/head start programs using pre-K CLASS and LAP-3

In conclusion, the current research suggests that many teachers struggle not only to effectively provide high-quality CD teacher-child interactions but also high-quality IS teacher-child interactions in their classrooms. Comprehensive in-service training on CD and an alternative assessment tool that extends beyond the 72-month age limit are strongly recommended. This is important to ensure that teachers are equipped with the necessary skills and motivation to provide high-quality education to young children to prevent developmental delays in children.PMID:38479214 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104201
