products articles Research Evaluation of the Michigan School Readiness Program To download the MSRP fact sheet, click here. To download complete report, click here (need Adobe Acrobat Reader). Every day, more than 20,000 four-year-old children attend the Michigan School Readiness Program (MSRP) in 470 public school districts and 66 other agencies across the state. The MSRP is one of the 31 state-initiated and -funded preschool programs in the U.S. that are designed to help poor or other children at risk of school failure start school ready to learn. Is the Michigan program achieving this goal? In order to answer this question, the Michigan State Board of Education awarded a grant to the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation beginning in 1995 to design and conduct an evaluation to assess the implementation and effectiveness of the Michigan School Readiness Program. The program had not been evaluated since its inception in 1985. For the last three years, the MSRP Evaluation's Longitudinal Study has followed two cohorts of children from kindergarten through the primary grades. The two cohorts were selected in seven sites from across the state. Each cohort consists of a group of children who had participated in the MSRP and a comparison group who are like the MSRP children in age and socioeconomic background, but had not attended the MSRP. Every year since kindergarten, data have been collected on the study participants' developmental outcomes and school readiness; attendance, grade level and special services from school records have been reviewed; and parents have been interviewed concerning their involvement in their child's education.
