Closing the Achievement Gap
As schools continue to struggle to meet national and statewide learning standards, the Commission recognized that the best way to impact school success was to improve children’s preparation prior to school entry. Being prepared for school involves a variety of school, home, and community-based interventions working together to improve the social, cognitive, and physical capacities children need for school success.
The Early Learning programs provide educational opportunities for young children to maximize their potential to succeed in school. The Commission recognizes that early math and literacy are critical in allowing children to develop the more complex skills that are formally taught in elementary school.
To promote children’s success and readiness for school, the Commission partners with schools and communities.For more about the programs the Commission supports, please visit here.
