Policy Brief: Assessing Transitional Kindergarten’s Impact on Elementary School Trajectories
Overview
California’s Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program provides an additional year of schooling within the K–12 system that aims to prepare children for kindergarten. Launched a decade ago with limited eligibility, the program will be expanded to all four-year-olds by 2025–26. Little is known about TK’s longer-term impact—especially among multilingual students and students with disabilities, who might benefit from early identification. This resource takes stock of TK’s impact so far in an effort to help the state expand it successfully.
