research about si

Simple Interactions is grounded in research and theory on child development and adult learning. You can learn more about the background of SI on our Overview page. SI has been part of numerous projects that have studied its effectiveness and impact in a variety of settings. As new research becomes available, we will share it here.   

Our first Simple Interactions research paper has been recently published in Child and Youth Care Forum -- "Simple Interactions: Piloting a Strengths-Based and Interaction-Based Professional Development Intervention for Out-of-School Time Programs" (Akiva, Martin, Galletta Horner & McNamara, 2016).

Read an article authored by two of our collaborators -- "Developmental Relationships As the Active Ingredient: A Unifying Working Hypothesis of 'What Works' Across Intervention Settings" (Li & Julian, 2012)​.

View "Growing Simple Interactions Inside Everyday Practice" from a special edition of the ALIGN Journal.
​

Check out an early Research Brief, which summarizes data collected at pilot sites.

See a recent 3-part blog post that highlights the importance of human interactions in an increasingly technological world.

​"The Power of Simple Interactions" The ingredients of high-quality early education are rooted in the practices teachers use every day.
