Prekindergarten Research in Progress Database
World Wide Web: http://prekrip.org
The ECAP Collaborative is home to more than a dozen projects that focus on educating and raising young children. A major emphasis is the importance of social-emotional development, and its relationship to school readiness. ECAP supports research, technical assistance, and service projects. In addition, ECAP collects and describes the literature on elementary and early education, care, and child development.
The Prekindergarten Research in Progress database provides descriptions of ongoing or recently completed studies of State-funded prekindergarten programs, or studies that use State-funded prekindergarten programs as one of several settings for research. Two examples are (1) The National Survey of Lead Teachers in State-Funded Prekindergarten Programs (also known as the National Prekindergarten Study), and (2) a study of parent involvement in rural Illinois state-funded prekindergarten programs conducted by Dr. Brent McBride at the University of Illinois. Project staff plan to add several records to the database each month.
