[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Seamless education study

[Lesley Farmer]

This study describes the P–16 approach of linking education strategies
from preschool through college graduation to better prepare low-income
minority students. Discusses academic content, state policy strategies,
and P–16 network efforts in Atlanta. Lessons learned include: start in
pre-K, support communities who help students, focus on transitions
periods (elementary to MS, etc.), have high expectations, make students
feel part of the community, expand learning opportunities.Jehl, Jeanne.
