In this month's newsletter, we're highlighting a longitudinal study led by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln research team that followed children from prekindergarten to first grade to better understand how student–teacher and parent–teacher relationships predicted developmental outcomes, with a focus on understanding interactions over time.

Learn more about the study and its findings in the story linked below.

The Early Learning Network, funded by the Institute of Education Sciences, leverages its expertise, resources and geographic diversity to help narrow opportunity gaps and maintain early learning success as children transition from preschool to third grade. Together, network researchers from universities and organizations across the U.S. are examining current policies and practices, identifying malleable factors associated with early learning and achievement, and developing tools to assess early learning instruction, interactions and environments.
