SCHOOL READINESS
The School Readiness Area looks in depth at both cognitive and social learning in the early years of life, with a special focus on children’s status at school entry and children’s developmental trajectories through elementary school. We study the multiple dimensions of school readiness, language and literacy development among children, and the effects of educational contexts on children’s learning and achievement.
