West Lafayette, Indiana<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Steve Wilson<br />

Ms. Loveless is participating in Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Wilson’s study <strong>of</strong> an<br />

intergenerational learning <strong>program</strong> in Lafayette. The <strong>program</strong> com-<br />

ponents include high-quality early childhood education, parenting<br />

classes, and home visits by family workers. Ms. Loveless is working<br />

with culturally diverse families, observing the early childhood educa-<br />

tion center, and making home visits with the family worker. She<br />

responsiveness and/or intrusiveness during the videotaped play<br />

periods and establishing inter-coder agreement for these judgments.
