  mentoring_philosophy: 'I believe the most exciting and insightful research utilizes involves interdisciplinary team members working in a community of practice. Mentorship within a community of practice allows team members to choose just how much expertise they would like to develop in areas that meet the goals of the combined research team, and allows team members to develop their own goals that can be supported by the most experienced team members within a safe environment.

  overall_research_project_description: 'The purpose of the proposed study is to describe the factor structure of emergent literacy (i.e., Print Knowledge, Phonological Awareness, Nonword Repetition) and oral language (i.e., Nonword Repetition, WH-Questions, Sentence Repetition, Receptive and Expressive morphosyntax, Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary) performance of African American children attending Head Start preschools in the southeast United States. We will first utilize confirmatory factor analysis to determine if a strict unidimensional model (representing Emergent Literacy and Oral Language combined) or a complex model representing two latent factors (one for Emergent Literacy and one for Oral Language) best fit the data. Utilizing Factor Mixture Models (FMM), we will then determine if there are unique classifications of individuals with consideration of the latent factors of emergent literacy and oral language or unidimensional factor of emergent literacy and oral language combined. Finally, we will determine if dialect density or degree of dialect variation (DVAR) is a significant predictor of FMM group membership. '
