We have been seeking an outside evaluator to analyze our student performance data for our K-Prep program, KidsBridge. We are delighted to announce that the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) at EDC (Education Design Center) has taken this on as a project! KidsBridge was developed with the school district specifically to test a model that could close the preparation gap for incoming kindergarten students. The goal was to give extra academic and social learning time to children with no pre-school experience, catch them up and send them off confident and more skilled. Because REL was looking for an effective scalable model to address the same K performance gap problem, we thought this was a natural partnership and we're excited to team up and look at scaling KidsBridge to serve more students in more schools!
