In this webinar, sponsored by the Center on Enhancing Early Learning Opportunities (CEELO), Dr. Steven Barnett, Principal Investigator of CEELO and Director of the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) and Dr. Milagros Nores, Associate Director of Research at NIEER, will present data that looks at how children from various language and immigrant backgrounds participate in pre-K programs and at how these children perform relative to their White
peers at Kindergarten entry.
A recent study published in the Journal of Primary Prevention confirms that PAT measurably improves school readiness, virtually eliminating the achievement gap normally observed between poor children and their more affluent
peers at the point of
kindergarten entry, and that gap continued to be narrowed in the third grade.
