Explored beliefs
and practices of Head Start, kindergarten, first-, second-, and
third-grade teachers. Found that belief measures were moderately
correlated and observed practices supported what teachers reported
as their beliefs and practices. Beliefs were significantly more
appropriate than practice at every grade level. As grade level increased,
the level of self-reported and observed developmentally appropriate
beliefs and practices decreased. (Author/KB)
