What readiness measures and longitudinal information would help families evaluate transitional kindergarten?

R1–R3 propose readiness tools, research participation and qualified teachers. These are jury recommendations, not proof that a particular assessment improves outcomes.

Why this matters

Families and educators can discuss how to assess benefits without reducing children to a single measure.
