Americas Kindergartners Findings from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study

In the fall of 1998, about 4 million children were attending kindergarten in the U.S., approximately 95% of them for the first time. This report presents the first findings from a new national study of kindergartners, their schools, classrooms, teachers & families. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K), sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Education, Nat. Center for Education Statistics, began following a nationally representative sample of some 22,000 kindergartners in the fall of 1998. The ECLS-K will follow the same cohort of children from their entry to kindergarten through their fifth grade year.West, Jerry is the author of 'Americas Kindergartners Findings from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study' with ISBN 9780756701895 and ISBN 0756701899.
