Facilitating Play Skills: Efficacy of a Staff Development Program.

Gowen, Jean W.

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v2 n1 p55-66 Mar 1987

The effectiveness of two workshops provided for teachers and aides in a day care center was studied. Training was effective in increasing caregiver verbal involvement with children during play, but was less effective in reducing the number of verbal directives delivered by caregivers to children.
