| Abstract: |
One widely used tool that captures the process quality of preschool classrooms, including interactions between teachers and children, is the Classroom Assessment Scoring System-Preschool (Pre-K CLASS; Pianta et al. 2008). The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded Mathematica to conduct a literature scan to search for recent studies analyzing how well widely used classroom quality measures--including the Pre-K CLASS--perform (see box at the end of the brief for more details about methods). This brief focuses on what is known about how the Pre-K CLASS relates to children's outcomes in general, and whether its relationships with outcomes differs for key subgroups of children. The authors include outcomes that reveal a child's readiness for school, categorized as language; literacy; math; and social-emotional, executive function, and physical skills (coordination of vision and movement). |
