Cultivating Young Scientists: Expanding Foundations of Science Literacy
Teaching children how to think scientifically in the preschool years has the potential to address an existing achievement gap in early science and provide all children with the skills necessary to continue learning and thinking critically throughout the school years. Unfortunately, early childhood teachers typically lack content and pedagogical knowledge in science, and are not prepared to provide developmentally appropriate experiences that support children's early science learning and read...

Assessing the Efficacy of a Comprehensive Intervention in Physical Science on Head Start Teachers and Children
The purpose of this project is to test the efficacy of the Foundations of Science Literacy (FSL) intervention, a professional development program that was developed for use with Head Start teachers. By focusing on the Head Start community, FSL directly addresses the achievement gap in early science education by providing a framework for teachers to learn and implement preschool science instructional practices in classrooms serving children from low-income backgrounds. This study will exam...

Examining the Efficacy of Two Models of Preschool Professional Development in Language and Literacy
In this project, the researchers proposed to test the efficacy of two approaches to implementing empirically based early literacy professional development: the Literacy Environment Enrichment Program (LEEP) and Technology-Enhanced LEEP (T-LEEP). These PD programs grew in response to a recognition that children who come from homes where oral language interactions are sparse enter school at a disadvantage and that many early childhood teachers lack a solid foundation in early teaching and lear...

Assessing the Potential Impact of a Professional Development Program in Science on Head Start Teachers and Children
In this project, the researchers proposed to develop and pilot test a credit-bearing professional development program, Foundations of Science Literacy (FSL), on head start teachers and children. Historically, English language learners and students from low-income homes perform lower in science on average than their peers. At the end of this intended project, researchers aimed to have developed and tested potential promise of FLS in the Boston area of Massachusetts.
