NECTC: Tech Rpt 3: Recommended transition practices for young children and families: Results from a national validation survey

2008

The transition between and among programs is a major part of the lives of young children and families. Results are presented from a national validation survey of early childhood and early childhood special education professionals of key practices that support the transition process as children leave early intervention and enter preschool and as they leave preschool and enter kindergarten. A total of 21 practices were identified through a series of studies that included administrators, providers, and family members. Of the 21 practices, all were validated by 75% of the respondents, while 20 were validated by 90% or more of the 419 respondents. A description of each practice is provided, along with specific examples of how the practice could be implemented across program types.
