The Quality of Work Life in NAEYC Accredited and Nonaccredited Early Childhood Programs.
Bloom, Paula Jorde
Early Education and Development, v7 n4 p301-17 Oct 1996
Compared work environments of NAEYC accredited and nonaccredited centers using the Early Childhood Work Environment Survey. Found that innovativeness, goal consensus, opportunities for professional growth, and clarity accounted for the greatest differences between accredited and nonaccredited centers. Also found differences in staff's job commitment, turnover, and teachers' current and desired levels of decision-making influence. (KDFB)
