comparison group, one had over 5 years of teaching experience, and the second had over 29 years of overall teaching experience.
The study initially aimed to recruit 100 students; however, the research team was only able to obtain parental consent for 33 students across the two conditions. See Table 1 for students’ demographic characteristics. In the overall sample students were between the ages of 42 and 63 months ( M = 56.25, SD = 5.73), 62.5% were girls, 56.3% spoke/heard Spanish at home, and 81.3% were Hispanic.
