Hidden Expectations: Do Teachers Use Expressive Language Ability as a Proxy for Overall Development?
Vega, Vanessa; Osman, Yael; Katz, Bracha; Giordano, Keri – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Just as paediatricians are the gatekeepers to children's physical health, preschool teachers are the gatekeepers to children's overall developmental progress.

Teachers' ratings of social competence were obtained for a sample of 116 kindergarten children. Social competence was measured using the California Preschool Social…

We propose that a developmental assets approach, one that focuses on strengths of these settings, can help our understanding of the development of young children's…
