Abstract | Within the broad P-16 framework, the transition from high school to college has commanded the bulk of attention from policy makers, think tanks, foundations, and the research community in general. Immediate and long-term concerns about the skills of the American work force and global competitiveness fuel this focus. Significantly less attention has been paid to the "P" part, the first years of the P-16 continuum that pertain to young children. In this article, the authors argue that the P-3 years--from prekindergarten through the primary grades--are the cornerstone of any P-16 system. They provide a strong foundation for children's lifelong learning, educational excellence, and eventual competitiveness in the marketplace. To ground the discussion of P-3, the authors offer brief descriptions of what P-3 might look like in policy and practice. (Contains 20 endnotes.) (ERIC). |
