Examined differences
in teacher qualifications, inservice training, program quality,
and children's development in Head Start, public school, and private
nonprofit early childhood classrooms. More formal education for
public school teachers was offset by better inservice training for
Head Start teachers, as programs achieved equal levels of quality.
