  • Pathway to a Pre-K-12 Future
    Transforming Public Education: Pathway to a Pre-K-12 Future September 2011 This report challenges our nation’s policy makers to transform public education by moving from a K-12 to a Pre-K-12 system. This vision is grounded in rigorous research and informed by interviews with education experts, as well as lessons from Pew’s decade-long initiative to advance high-quality pre-kindergarten for all three and four year olds. The report also reflects work by leading scholars and institutions to identify the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in school and the teaching practices that most effectively develop them. Together, these analyses and perspectives form a compelling case for why America’s education system must start earlier, with pre-k, to deliver the results that children, parents and taxpayers deserve.

  • Targeting College Readiness from Pre-K to High School
    SDP FELLOWSHIP CAPSTONE REPORT 2016 Targeting College Readiness from Pre-K to High School Abraham Ahn, Elizabeth Public Schools Russell Clement, Broward County Public Schools Corradina Fronte, Paterson Public Schools Danny McClain, IDEA Public Schools Executive Summary In an effort to ensure high school graduates possess college-ready skills, as well as enroll and persist in college, SDP Fellows in Elizabeth Public Schools, Broward County Public Schools, Paterson Public Schools, and IDEA Public Schools wanted to know: What factors best predict college success? How early can indicators predict college success? The SDP Fellow in Elizabeth Public Schools identified key performance indicators and developed benchmarks to continuously monitor student progress toward on-time graduation and postsecondary enrollment. The SDP Fellow found that 98% of ninth graders who advanced to 10th grade with a 3.0 GPA graduated from high school on-time, yet students qualified to attend a four-year institution were not necessarily applying, and students qualified to attend higher-ranking institutions were not pursuing a higher quality college match. Using the correlation between PSAT and elementary and middle school state test scores, the SDP Fellow in Broward County Public Schools identified the value-added school effects of middle schools for college readiness. In Broward County, performance of students prior to entering middle school is strongly related to their future PSAT performance. The SDP Fellow was able to identify schools that have the greatest impact on student achievement. The SDP Fellow in Paterson Public Schools leveraged the potential of longitudinal data collection, beginning in preschool, for predicting at-risk status.
