Measuring Long-Term Outcomes of Preschool to Elementary Education: A Community Collaboration

This study explores the long-term outcomes of a collaborative educational model connecting preschool and elementary learning within the Branch ISD. With 245 Head Start and 56 GSRP students across five sites, we analyze critical data, including developmental screenings and student progress tracking. By ensuring curricular continuity and utilizing assessments like DIBELS and MEAP, we aim to enhance literacy and mathematics proficiency among students. Results reveal trends in reading and math performance, informing future educational strategies and professional development.

  1. Long Term Outcomes: a Community Collaboration Measuring school success, preschool to elementary to ….. Branch ISD Head Start/GSRP

  2. Branch ISD Early Education Services-Coldwater, Quincy, Bronson • 5 sites • 245 Head Start, 56 GSRP • 13 classrooms • Transportation, two meals, 3.5 hours/4 days a week • Developmental, speech, dental, physical, vision, hearing, hemoglobin, social emotional screenings annually

  3. BISD Special Education • 1.5 Special education teachers and 1.0 special education paraprofessionals embedded in prek classrooms • Itinerant speech, OT, PT as needed • Currently serving 30+ students with IEPs

  4. In the beginning: • Why connect preschool and elementary learning? • >50% of district kindergarten students are graduates of BISD preschool programs • GSRP requirement to track progress of graduates

  5. What? • Vision: all children enter school ready to learn and develop skills to allow them to master grade level expectations • Continuity of curricular objectives, shared expectations • Outcomes of former students?? • Collect (and define) common data- • During preschool • At school entry • As children progress through school

  6. Creative Curriculum • Preschool assessment, based on curriculum • CC.Net • Assessment based on observation • Fall, winter, Spring • Anecdotals on every child entered weekly, 2 per child per week • Online access every classroom, laptops for teachers

  7. Creative Curriculum Outcomes, Winter 2011, 4 year olds

  8. We’ve had help-- • CISD Technical assistance for Data Director and for development of reports • School districts support consistent data entry • A system to transfer records efficiently from preK to elementary

  9. What to measure? • Common assessments? • Screeners—K roundup • DIBELS • Letter recognition • MEAP • Reading • Math

  10. Elementary data collection-MEAP: • All students • GSRP • Head Start • No early education • English language learners • IEP students

  11. Results? • MEAP scores through 7th grade (2002 preK) • Proficient – Non-Proficient • Reading • Math

  12. Results… • Reading outcomes decline as children get older • Very small sample, few ELL children • Transient population • About half of children with IEPs no longer received Special Education

  13. So now what?? • Focus on Literacy, phonemic awareness • Renewed focus on mathematics • District-wide professional development • Teacher to teacher communication • Kindergarten transition activities • Awareness and referrals • Continuing data analysis
