چکیده
This presentation reports on the goals and preliminary outcomes of the Child-Parent Centers (CPC) Expansion Project, which is a PreK to 3 rd grade school reform model aimed at improving the shortand long-term outcomes of participating children and families. The model provides continuous education and family support services to schools serving a large percentage of lowincome children. The model is based on an earlier project implemented in the 1970s and 1980s in a large, Midwestern city which followed participating children into adulthood and demonstrated consistent positive outcomes across a range of domains, including educational achievement. The CPC Expansion Project includes a quasi-experimental design to examine the impact of the current model on kindergarten school readiness and second grade school achievement as well as the impact on parent involvement in children’s education and learning.
