New Research Brief from the First 5 CA DLL Pilot Study: Professional Development
How can professional development (PD) help shape the beliefs and practices of early childhood teachers who work with Dual Language Learners (DLLs)? American Institutes for Research (AIR) surveyed over 600 teachers in 171 Early Learning and Care programs to learn more about their DLL-focused PD experiences and examine how these experiences relate to their beliefs about bilingualism and classroom practices. Professional Development for Teachers of Young Dual Language Learners and Its Connection to Teacher Beliefs and Practices, the latest publication in the First 5 CA DLL Pilot Study series, presents those findings.
