Description:
The 2012-2013 school year is a particularly exciting year for the Denver Preschool Program (DPP) as it is the first year that a sizeable number of DPP students participated in Colorado's standardized testing system, the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP). School year 2008-2009 was the first year of full operation of DPP, with about 4,755 children enrolled. DPP was just beginning to develop clear name recognition with parents and preschools and its efforts to improve preschool quality were just getting underway. This memo describes the evidence that suggests DPP children have contributed significantly to the growth in the percent of third-graders scoring "advanced" or "proficient" on the TCAP reading assessment that DPS experienced in the spring of 2013.
