Internet Implementation of Empirically-Supported Intervention that can be Remotely Delivered in Authentic Preschool Programs for Mothers and Teachers

2015

Many states estimate that half of their students arrive at kindergarten already far behind where they need to be in order to succeed. There is growing consensus that high quality preschool experiences can lay a strong foundation for school readiness even among economically disadvantaged children. However, there is a mismatch between the preparation of most early childhood educators and the preparation needed to optimize classroom practices. Support from parents in the home environment can also facilitate optimal developmental trajectories in early childhood and better assure children are ready for kindergarten, particularly with respect to language and self-regulation. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the impact of two web-based preschool interventions on child-, parent-, and teacher-level outcomes.
