Thanks to those of you who joined us for the October 27 webinar: Advancing Equity in Pre-K Access and Enrollment in Chicago: A Conversation with Researchers, Policymakers and Parent Leaders.
During this virtual event, Start Early partnered with researchers from NORC at the University of Chicago and UChicago Consortium on School Research to present results from their new study of Chicago’s school-based pre-K system:
Closer to Home: More Equitable Pre-K Access and Enrollment in Chicago. Findings from this study show that improving access to full-day pre-K programs may be an effective policy strategy for increasing enrollment among high-priority student groups and making educational opportunities more equitable. A moderated panel discussion of Chicago policymakers, parent leaders, and national experts followed the researchers’ remarks. We have posted a
recording of the webinar on the Start Early website for those who could not join us.
We encourage you to review the Equity-Focused Research and Policymaking blog by Amanda Stein, Start Early director of research and evaluation and co-author of Closer to Home: More Equitable Pre-K Access and Enrollment in Chicago Study. In this blog, Amanda shares her perspective on the findings and takeaways from this research study. |
