In collaboration with United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey and supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Public Citizens for Children and Youth (PCCY) examined the Pennsylvania Entry Inventory and utilization of similar tools with a select group of schools in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties that were involved in the pilot testing of the Pennsylvania KEI. This brief summarizes the findings from the 2012 pilot test of the Inventory and offers recommendations for how to improve the pace of school districts adopting it, ensure appropriate utilization of the data and spur improvement in both the K-12 and early learning sectors.
