DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed project, Teacher Education: Promoting Reading Readiness (TEPRR) is to give Head Start (HS) teachers access to evidence-based instructional approaches for teaching basic language and literacy skills through high quality, easily accessible, and innovative online multimedia professional development. HS focuses on serving children from low-income, at-risk families, who are less likely to have access to high quality early education, and are less likely to enter school prepared for school success. Head Start programs are experiencing a rapid increase in fixed costs and many centers have been forced to lay off staff and consolidate programs to save costs. Developing cost effective, accessible training for HS teachers is needed because programs have increasingly limited resources for training and coaching teachers, and traditional forms of professional development have had limited to mixed success in improving child language and literacy outcomes. In addition, HS teachers have expressed a strong desire for training in providing high quality literacy instruction. TEPRR is designed to fill this research-to-practice need by providing HS teachers with professional development on evidence-based approaches for teaching and monitoring development of children's language and literacy, providing opportunities to appropriately practice these new skills, and supportive, corrective feedback. In contrast to the current intermittent face-to-face in service opportunities, TEPRR promises extensive reach to HS teachers through commonly available web and mobile technology. In Phase I, we will develop a preliminary TEPRR training module that will allow us to test its DVT delivery system, acceptability, and potential for efficacy. We will develop Module 1 based on focus group and consultant feedback as well as usability testing with 40 HS teachers. We will also collect social validity data to assess the program's user-friendliness and feasibility in authentic HS settings. We will use a within-subjects pre-posttest design to assess teacher self-efficacy, adoption of instructional approaches presented in Module 1, and child knowledge of letter names and sounds taught in Module 1. In Phase II, we will develop the remaining modules of the program and conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the program on child and teacher outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议项目的目的，教师教育：促进阅读准备就绪（TEPRR）是为了使老师通过高质量，易于访问和创新的在线多媒体专业发展提供基于证据的教学方法来教授基本的语言和识字能力。 HS专注于为来自低收入，处于危险家庭的儿童提供服务，他们不太可能获得高质量的早期教育，并且不太可能进入学校准备就绪 为了学校的成功。 Head Start计划正经历固定成本的迅速增加，许多中心被迫裁员并合并计划以节省成本。需要为HS教师开发具有成本效益，可访问的培训，因为计划对培训和教练教师的资源越来越有限，并且传统的专业发展形式仅限于改善儿童语言和识字成果的混合成功。此外，HS老师在提供高质量识字指导方面表示了强烈的培训渴望。 TEPRR旨在通过为HS教师提供专业发展，以基于循证的教学和监测儿童语言和扫盲的发展，提供适当练习这些新技能以及支持性，纠正性反馈的机会，来满足这一研究对实践需求。与当前的服务机会中的间歇性面对面相反，TEPRR承诺通过常见的网络和移动技术为HS教师提供广泛的影响。在第一阶段，我们将开发一个初步的TEPRR培训模块，该模块将使我们能够测试其DVT传递系统，可接受性和功效潜力。我们将根据焦点小组和顾问反馈以及40个HS教师的可用性测试开发模块1。我们还将收集社会有效性数据，以评估该计划在真实HS设置中的用户友好性和可行性。我们将使用受试者内测试前设计来评估教师的自我效能感，模块1中提出的教学方法以及对模块1中教授的字母名称和声音的知识。在第二阶段中，我们将开发该程序的其余模块并进行随机对照的模块，以评估该计划对儿童和教师的有效性。
