Academic Performance among At-Risk Children: The Role of Developmentally Appropriate Practices.
Huffman, Loreen R.; Speer, Paul W.
Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v15 n2 p167-84 2000
Examined the effect of developmentally appropriate teaching practices on academic achievement of kindergarten and first-grade children participating in the Head Start/Public School Transition Project. Found that achievement was significantly higher in the more developmentally appropriate classrooms for letter/word identification and applied problems over time, suggesting that developmentally appropriate practices can improve children's achievement in urban settings.
