Description:
The Family and Provider/Teacher Relationship Quality (FPTRQ) project has developed new measures to assess the quality of family provider/teacher relationships in early care and education programs. The measures examine this relationship from both the parent and the provider/teacher perspectives, and capture important elements of family provider/teacher relationships, such as attitudes of respect, commitment, and openness to adapting practices. The project developed measures that are appropriate for use across different types of early care and education settings, including Head Start and Early Head Start programs, center based child care, pre-K classrooms, and home-based child care. In addition, a high priority of the project is to make the new measures culturally appropriate for diverse populations, including lower income and higher income families, ethnically/racially diverse providers and families, and non-English speaking families and providers.
