Announcing New Research Network Studies
We are excited to share the launch of two new projects made possible by the generous support of the Heising-Simons Foundation.
Promoting Teacher-Child Relationships in Early Care and Education Classrooms- The National Center for Children in Poverty and The Straus Center, Bank Street College of Education have launched a teacher-research partnership project that will address empirical gaps in our understanding of how teachers perceive teacher-child relationships and factors that contribute to their quality. The research will engage teachers in experiences that may increase their capacity to become more aware of how they view children, their relational behaviors with different children, and their role in contributing to the quality of their relationship with individual children.
