Synthesizes
research findings on how general education, specialized education,
and experiences relate to early childhood professionals' teaching
practices. Finds that teachers' formal education relates to classroom
quality and effective teacher behavior. Specialized education may
be causally related to classroom quality and is correlated with
effective teacher behavior. Teacher's experience cannot be consistently
linked to classroom quality or effective behavior. (KB)
