HEAD START SCHOLARS

本研究探讨了儿童的课堂参与，或儿童如何与他们的老师，同龄人和任务在课堂上互动，在迈阿密-戴德开端计划注册的儿童的文化和语言多样性的样本。儿童的观察到的课堂参与和个人资料组的变化的潜在配置文件将在一年的头开始检查。与变化相关的儿童和课堂水平的特征将被检查，以及学术准备技能的收益。

This study examines children's classroom engagement, or how children interact with their teachers, peers and tasks in the classroom, for a culturally and linguistically diverse sample of children enrolled in the Miami-Dade Head Start program. Latent profiles of children's observed classroom engagement and changes in profile groups will be examined across a year in Head Start. Child- and classroom-level characteristics associated with change will be examined, as well as gains in academic readiness skills.
