Cynthia DiCarlo, PhD was awarded the 2024 National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators (NAECTE) Foundation Established Career Early Teacher Educator Research Grant Award Winner. Dr. DiCarlo was selected as the top-scoring application after the review by a team of NAECTE peer reviewers for her project "Child Sustained Attention in One-Year-Olds." This project is part of a research series that has focused on identifying which teaching conditions (child choice, adult choice, or adult presentation) that elicit increased levels of engagement based on child age. Previous research on four-year-olds, three-year-olds, and two-year-olds has noted distinct differences in child attention based on teaching conditions. The goal of this project is to help provide direction to practitioners on the best teaching conditions to use with children at different ages to increase children's attention and engagement with materials. DiCarlo will be recognized at the National NAECTE conference on November 6 in Anaheim, California.
