Examining the Efficacy of Two Models of Preschool Professional Development in Language and Literacy
CC&F is examining the efficacy of two approaches to implementing its empirically-based early literacy professional development. Over four years, CC&F will implement and research two credit-bearing, content-rich, professional development programs in West Virginia. While Literacy Environment Enrichment Program (LEEP) uses a traditional face-to-face mode of delivery, Technology-Enhanced Literacy Environment Enrichment Program (T-LEEP) is delivered through interactive television, Web-based instruction, and face-to-face instruction. T-LEEP uses the technological infrastructure already in place in all schools across the state of West Virginia.
