Garza, Esther; Arreguín-Anderson, María Guadalupe – Bilingual Research Journal, 2018

Hurdus, Jeremy; Lasagabaster, David – Language and Education, 2018

Operating under the notion that ontologically grounded methodologies are susceptible to missing…

Gordon, Rachel A.; Peng, Fang – Grantee Submission, 2020
The standard scoring of the CLASS PreK produces three domain scores that are widely used in research, practice and policy.

Using the 2009 and 2014 Head Start Family and Child…
