"Effective Early Interventions that Strengthen School Readiness for Children from Vulnerable Populations"


In this presentation, Dr. Schmitt will provide an overview of her research on interventions designed to promote self-regulation and school readiness in children from vulnerable populations. She will first discuss the importance of developing strong self-regulation during the early childhood period. She will then describe her work on intervention approaches at various levels (e.g., state policy, classroom, small group) that aim to improve this set of skills in preschool and beyond. She will end by discussing future directions for her program of research.
This presentation is part of an on-campus interview for the tenure-track Bricker/Squires Faculty Chair in Early Intervention (Associate or Full Professor) position in the Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences.
