Regulations and policy in early care and education (ECE) is based largely on the idea that structural elements of ECE, such as child-adult ratio, predict teacher-child interactions that then predict child developmental outcomes. This structure-process-outcome model was initially proposed when many states had minimal ECE quality standards. Our…

Research has long suggested that the policy of school inspection, implemented through the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) in England, has psychological and physical effects on teachers that can be defined as toxic. Concern over this issue intensified following media reports linking a headteacher's suicide to a negative Ofsted inspection…

Despite evidence that teachers' professional experiences are racialized, few studies have quantitatively examined possible racial disparities in teachers' job satisfaction.
