Let’s collaborate!

Fact!

Successful preschool to kindergarten transitions are multi-faceted and often require communication and collaboration between schools and agencies.

Question?

What are the implications for successful transition collaborations if preschool teachers, kindergarten teachers, and their respective early learning settings hold different expectations for the skills children should demonstrate at kindergarten entry?

Answer.

The McCormick Center is launching the Competencies at Preschool Kindergarten Transition study to learn more about the degree of alignment between the expectations of preschool and kindergarten teachers. Please share this email with all the preschool and/or kindergarten teachers in your program and community. The results of the study will help highlight leadership opportunities to support effective preschool to kindergarten transitions.

Below is a link to a survey that we anticipate will take 10 minutes to complete. It contains questions about what teachers expect children to demonstrate—their competencies—at the preschool to kindergarten transition.

Complete survey by Feb 15:
