Preschool Curriculum Evaluation Research
• Immediate Program Goals– Provide practitioners with evidence for selecting
preschool curricula– Support rigorous evaluations of preschool curricula using
random assignment
• Additional Goals– Support complementary research studies to supplement
the evaluation– Build capacity for collaboration between researchers and
practitioners
![Page 7: The Preschool Curriculum Evaluation Research (PCER) Program The 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Caroline Ebanks James Griffin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e745503460f94b745fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PCER: General Framework
• Three year longitudinal studies across the transition
from preschool to kindergarten and first grade
• Grantees were funded to implement curricula and conduct complementary research studies at each project site
• Focus on supporting school readiness, especially for disadvantaged children
• Common core of evaluation data collected by an outside contractor
![Page 8: The Preschool Curriculum Evaluation Research (PCER) Program The 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Caroline Ebanks James Griffin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e745503460f94b745fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Basic Design of Evaluation
• Two groups of grantees (PCER 2002 and PCER 2003) implementing a variety of preschool curricula
• Randomly assigned either schools, classrooms, or children to the treatment condition
• Baseline and three follow-up assessments—end of preschool, end of kindergarten, and end of first grade
![Page 9: The Preschool Curriculum Evaluation Research (PCER) Program The 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Caroline Ebanks James Griffin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e745503460f94b745fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Primary Research Questions
• What outcomes do specific curricula produce?
• Are outcomes sustained over time?
![Page 10: The Preschool Curriculum Evaluation Research (PCER) Program The 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Caroline Ebanks James Griffin.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e745503460f94b745fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Secondary Research Questions
• What is the relationship between level of implementation and participation and curriculum effectiveness?
• How are experiences in kindergarten and first grade related to child outcomes?
