This document summarizes research on in-service group training for early childhood care providers. It finds that while such training can improve care quality and child outcomes, most studies have limitations. Specifically, few measure behaviors or social validity, use strong research designs, provide procedure details, or promote generalization. The document also proposes a three-tier framework to address the eight dimensions of applied behavior analysis in such research more fully.
