Hajovsky, Daniel B.; Caemmerer, Jacqueline M.; Mason, Benjamin A. – Applied Developmental Science, 2022
At school entry, girls are rated by teachers as more competent on measures of social skills than boys. It is less clear if this higher rating is stable or grows over time. To address this question, multiple group curve of factors models investigated gender-specific growth trajectories across seven waves of measurement in a large, longitudinal…

Wiseman, Rosalind; Fisher, Douglas; Frey, Nancy; Hattie, John – Corwin, 2020
Parent involvement has always been a vital part of any child's education, but the pandemic and resulting remote instruction require that parents and educators partner at a deeper level. Following the tremendous success of "The Distance Learning Playbook, K-12," education authorities Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie have teamed up…

Bodrova, Elena; Leong, Deborah J. – American Journal of Play, 2019
Although most early-childhood educators agree on the value of play in child development, they find it increasingly harder to advocate for play given today's pressure for academic achievement. Using the theoretical work of Lev Vygotsky, the authors discuss how make-believe play among children helps them develop skills critical for success in school…

This study examined the relationship between age 3 readiness for group-based learning, modeled as…

With the right planning and support, dynamic…

Garcia, Emma – Economic Policy Institute, 2015
Inequalities in education outcomes such as test scores or degree attainment have been at the center of education policy debates for decades. Indeed, the first seminal national report on the state of U.S. education--the 1966 Coleman Report--examined some of these inequalities 50 years ago. Since then, researchers have examined performance gaps by…
