Transition to school is one of the most important steps in a young child’s life. Well planned, collaborative transition models build trust and relationships among children, families, early care and education professionals, and school communities. One example of these models is the Kindergarten Transition Toolkit which will be covered in this course.

About

Pennsylvania’s Prenatal to Third Grade (P3) Systems Building Logic Model is designed to support OCDEL’s mission of providing families access to high quality services to prepare children for school and life success. When early learning settings are implemented with attention to quality and are intentionally aligned to one another, all children, including those lacking opportunity, benefit. Comprehensive P3 approaches hold incredible potential to dramatically change the path of opportunity gaps and to set young children on solid pathways to educational and lifelong success.

The Pennsylvania P3 Systems Building Logic Model was developed to assist a variety of groups (state agencies, regional teams, local communities) in the planning and implementation of innovative P3 policies and practices. The Bureau of Policy and Professional Development has developed courses such as the one above as companion resources to The Pennsylvania P3 Systems Building Logic Model.
