Select findings from the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Study 2017: Cultural Items and Language Use (CILU) Checklist

Description:

This brief includes a snapshot of how language and cultural items are used in Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) programs. Specifically, this brief presents select findings from the Cultural Items and Language Use Checklist ("CILU Checklist"). The CILU Checklist is an observation measure that was completed during a 2-3 hour visit to MSHS classrooms as part of the 2017 MSHS Study. The study team designed this measure to better understand children's language and cultural experiences. Understanding how language and cultural items are used in MSHS classrooms may inform classroom instruction and how it can be tailored for children of varying age levels served by MSHS programs--infants/younger toddlers, older toddlers, and preschoolers. These findings may be helpful to MSHS programs to consider as they identify the best ways to create classrooms that incorporate the languages and cultures of MSHS children and their families.
