The Preschool to 3rd Grade Initiative, presented as part of a featured session Thursday at the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s annual conference in Atlanta, involves teachers and administrators in more than 20 school districts, the New Jersey Department of Education and researchers from the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER). The project focuses on how to create curriculum that challenges students, is responsive to their individual differences and helps them connect to content knowledge they already have.
