School Readiness Of First Grade Charter School Students: An Evaluation Of An Early Childhood Program
type: CreativeWork
description: This program evaluation studied the effectiveness of an early childhood program as it relates to school readiness. The early childhood program of a charter school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin had been operating for over thirty without an evaluation of its effectiveness. To examine the effectiveness of the early childhood program, seventy-two students were evaluated using a teacher-developed First Grade Readiness Checklist; the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Test and Success for All (SFA) Assessment. School readiness, as a multifaceted construct, included five domains: academic, behavioral, emotional, social and self-help-skills. The results of the survey indicate that the early childhood program was effective in the behavioral, emotional, socials and self-help domains. However, the early childhood program was not effective in the academic domain.
