Stacey Neuharth-Pritchett
I currently serve as an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology and EPIT Graduate Coordinator. My research interests center on the contexts of early educational intervention, kindergarten retention, economically disadvantaged children's transition to school (particularly the Head Start population), and intervention for children with chronic health problems. I have served as the principal investigator, co-investigator on a number of externally-funded research projects on Head Start, early literacy, and teacher quality. I am currently the Associate Editor of the Journal of Research in Childhood Education for the Association for Childhood Education International. I teach courses in educational research methodology, applied educational measurement, and seminars on psychological issues for young children placed at risk. I belong to the Applied Cognition and Development Program in Educational Psychology and am a Fellow in the Institute for Behavioral Research at The University of Georgia.
