Used teacher
questionnaires and observations of classroom practices and environment
to examine program-quality characteristics in 58 community-based
early-childhood settings serving at least one child with disabilities.
Found that both segregated and inclusive settings had moderately
good quality and were similar across measures of program quality.
Teacher demographic variables were not related to the selected program-quality
indicators. (Author/KB)
