Transitional Kindergarten: Growing Children’s Early Academic Skills
Transitional kindergarten is a universal, age-based early childhood program in California that is intended to prepare five-year-olds for kindergarten. Karen Manship explains how student outcomes compare between those who attend transitional kindergarten and those who do not and how the program helps ensure children receive a strong start to their educational careers. The findings come from an AIR study, which was funded by the Heising-Simons Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and First 5 California.
