This document
summarizes presentations made at a national policy forum concerning
children's transition from home and preschool to the first years
of elementary school. Three presentations by individual speakers
examined: (1) the strategic importance of linkages and the transition
between early childhood programs and early elementary school; (2)
program coordination and other issues in strengthening linkages;
and (3) findings and implications of a study on transitions to kindergarten
in American schools. Three panel discussions considered the following
topics: assessment issues related to transition; policy issues related
to developmentally appropriate curricula, parental involvement,
and multiculturalism; and administrative issues and barriers to
the development of stronger linkages and transition programs. Small
group sessions discussed barriers to, strategies for, and policy
implications of, the development of transition programs. These sessions
also tried to incorporate the information presented in the forum
into regional agendas for support of transition programs. Appendices
include a list of forum participants and a description of the early
childhood program efforts of each of the 10 educational research
laboratories. (BC)
