Illinois Initiatives for Educational Reform: Evaluation of the 1993 State Prekindergarten Program. Research, Evaluation & Planning Report.
Borger, Jeanne; And Others
This report evaluates the Chicago Public Schools' 1992-93 Prekindergarten Program for 3- to 5-year old children at risk of academic failure. During the 1992-93 academic year, the State Prekindergarten Program served 10,735 3- and 4-year-olds at 286 sites throughout the city. The report describes and evaluates the program's four components: (1) a screening component to identify eligible children; (2) an educational component to prepare at-risk preschool children for success in school; (3) a health component to stimulate and encourage growth in physical health and ability; and (4) a parent component to involve parents in the education of their children and assist them in obtaining the necessary services to provide for their family's welfare. In the context of the particular components, the report describes the program's identification procedures to document at-risk children; educational intervention consisting of experiences designed to promote positive self-image and learning through growth in cognitive functioning, language and communication skills, social-emotional awareness, and physical health and ability; and a planned program of parent activities, including classroom volunteer opportunities, parent meetings, workshops, field trips, and health and social support services.
