Stacey Neuharth-Pritchett
I currently serve as a 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 teach courses in educational research methodology, applied educational measurement, and seminars on psychological issues for young children placed at risk. I am a Fellow in the Institute for Behavioral Research at The University of Georgia.
