Executive summary: A community effort to support the transition from pre-K to kindergarten

Description:
Researchers at Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago (Chapin Hall) and the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research (UChicago Consortium) studied the first full-year implementation of PKTP (2016-17), following a pilot year in 2015-16. The motivation behind this work was to provide our local school district (Chicago Public Schools) with information about the core components of PKTP and its ability to increase family engagement as the district was considering scaling up this community-wide approach to supporting the pre-K to kindergarten transition. These findings would also be used by BPI as they considered future iterations and changes to PKTP in the future. More broadly, studying this model offered an opportunity to add to a new and growing knowledge base about practice efforts to improve children's transitions to and through kindergarten.
