Project OverviewWith broad support across the political spectrum, states and localities throughout the country are expanding preschool programs for low-income children. While the public will is strong and the experience to date is encouraging, there is a need for firmer evidence on the most cost-effective ways to produce lasting impacts for children, especially when programs operate on a large scale. Access to high-quality preschool education can have substantial positive impacts on children’s early learning and development, but the boost in skills young children experience can fade out as they move on to kindergarten and elementary school. This fadeout pattern has drawn greater attention to students’ experiences after preschool, in early elementary school, and helped increase support for improving curricular alignment from preschool to third grade. Alignment refers to the range of policies and practices designed to launch young children on a positive developmental pathway, with the early elementary grades continuing to build on what children learn in preschool. In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with MDRC’s Meghan McCormick, the lead impact investigator for the Expanding Children’s Early Learning, or ExCEL, P-3 study, about high-quality preschool education and implementing aligned curricula. Agenda, Scope, and GoalsTwo core projects are planned.ExCEL P-3: Promoting Sustained Gains from Preschool to Third Grade.
Boston Public Schools has begun phasing in what will be a system-wide integrated curriculum that emphasizes the need for instruction in each grade that builds on the lessons and skills children learned in the previous grade. MDRC is conducting a study that will provide especially rich data on the effect of the aligned instruction, while also exploring other potential influences on sustaining preschool gains.ExCEL Quality: Improving Preschool Instruction Through Curricula, Coaching, and Training.
This demonstration addresses a critical decision that goes to the heart of program effectiveness: the selection of the best combination of curricula and professional development to improve teacher practices and child outcomes. In four localities, MDRC will compare the implementation, impact, and cost-effectiveness of: (1) a “business-as-usual” control condition that reflects the localities’ current mix of curricula and standard professional development; (2) a widely used comprehensive curriculum supported by intensive professional development; and (3) a different integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum focused on math, science, literacy, and social-emotional learning, also supported by intensive professional development.
