Transitioning to kindergarten: What 3 RPPs find on district-led programs
2019
NNERP Extra Magazine
Description
In this first edition of the āResearch Insightsā series, we visit the early childhood education space across NNERPP. Here we find three districts offering different versions of a kindergarten transition program for their students. As it happens, the programs show a nice spectrum of possibilities for how a district might support their students in the transition to kindergarten, with Portland Public Schools offering the shortest and least resource intensive program while the program run by the San Francisco Unified School District is the longest and most resource intensive of the three.

To inform future uses by researchers and media, we discuss in this brief how to calculate this metric as well as its trade-offs.
