Developmental Skills Linked to Math and Science Achievement

This work builds on prior NSF-supported research on socio-demographic achievement gaps by proposing to (1) expand longitudinal data analyses of early developmental skills that are linked to later math/science, (2) strengthen the statistical methodology to include analysis at the math/science subscale level, (3) use latent profile analysis to cluster children with similar profiles and utilize growth models to predict achievement trajectories as skills change, (4) formalize and shorten the process involved in the design, development and experimental testing of interventions, (5) develop strategies for combining interventions during the transition to school, and (6) formulate a comprehensive national strategy and priorities for addressing the skill deficits linked to math/science achievement gaps.
