Each skill can be taught within any existing educational model and does not require significant changes in the curriculum. While it was originally developed and validated for preschoolers with disabilities who were making transitions into kindergarten, it has been used successfully to promote the transition from preschool to kindergarten and from kindergarten to first grade for children with and without special learning needs. Teachers of typically developing children from preschool through third grade have found the intervention strategies useful. Those who benefit from learning the teaching strategies include teachers, coordinators, Headstart staff, administrators, and other support staff.
Training typically ranges from one to two days.
Project staff will also work with schools or districts to develop local capacity for providing teacher training and technical support. 650 Minnesota Ave.
