Meet the Early Learning Network Assessment Team: University of California, Irvine

About the Early Learning Network The Early Learning Network seeks to advance the understanding of policies and practices that narrow the achievement gap and maintain early learning success as children transition from preschool to elementary school — and beyond. Network researchers are examining education policies, individual classrooms and children’s transition from preschool through third grade. In all three areas, researchers are identifying malleable factors associated with early learning and school achievement — factors that can be changed to improve children’s outcomes.
