Project Activities
This study conducted a randomized trial comparing the RSL curriculum to the curriculum currently being used in the pre-k programs. Complementary research in this study was to examine two levels of teacher professional development and teacher experience with the curriculum, the roles of teacher knowledge and attitudes during the implementation of RSL, and the relationship between teacher knowledge and attitudes to children's learning outcomes.
