Prekindergarten teachers in Texas will be rewarded this week for their dedication to preparing students for kindergarten when their classrooms receive School Readiness Certification for the state of Texas.
For prekindergarten classrooms assessed from the 2009-2010 school year, 3,152 classrooms are receiving 2011-2012 certification through a legislatively-funded evaluation system operated by the Children’s Learning Institute at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). More than 65 percent of eligible classrooms were certified.
“Texas School Readiness Certification demonstrates the dedication of local prekindergarten educators to ensure that all children are prepared to enter school,” said Susan Landry, Ph.D., Children’s Learning Institute Director and Albert and Margaret Alkek Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Education. “This certification program continues to make a difference in children’s lives because of the support of parents, teachers and community and state leaders.”
To achieve certification, teachers at preschools and other early childhood education and development centers provide information about their classroom instructional practices. The results are then studied along with information provided by Texas public school districts to assess students’ early reading and social development skills after they advance to kindergarten. The annual certification shows that children who graduated from these prekindergarten classrooms went to public kindergarten with the fundamental early literacy skills in place to be successful. Licensed childcare providers, Head Start and public prekindergarten classrooms are included in the program.
The Prekindergarten Early Start Grant allowed our district to participate in the Texas School Ready! Certification system which was designed to increase school readiness for at-risk preschool-aged children. The PKES staff provided support throughout the certification process including extensive professional development, classroom mentoring for teachers and ongoing progress monitoring tools to help guide instruction.
