The fall kindergarten data collection took place from late August 2010 to late December 2010/early January 2011. The spring kindergarten data collection took place from late March 2011 to mid June 2011. Data are being collected in about 900 schools across the country from about 19,000 kindergartners and their families, teachers, and school administrators.
The fall first-grade data collection is taking place from late August 2011 to late December 2011/early January 2012 in about one-third of the total sample of schools participating in the study. The spring first-grade data collection will take place from late March 2012 to mid June 2012. In the spring, data will be collected in all schools participating in the study.
It is expected that data from the kindergarten rounds of data collection will be available to researchers in fall 2012.
