Best Practices for Beginners: Developmental Appropriateness in Kindergarten.
Bryant, Donna M.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v28 n4 p783-803 Win 1991
The extent of developmentally appropriate practices was studied in 103 kindergarten classrooms across North Carolina. Ninety-three teachers and 93 principals were also surveyed to determine predictors of classroom quality. Only 20 percent of the classes met criteria for developmental appropriateness, and quality was predictable from teacher and principal replies. (SLD)
