In 2015/16, Oregon shifted its funding policy on kindergarten enrollment, creating financial incentives for school districts to offer full-day kindergarten (FDK). This resulted in an increase in the percentage of kindergarten students enrolled in FDK, from 42 percent in 2014/15 to nearly 100 percent in 2015/16. Evidence from other research generally shows that FDK has positive short-term effects on academic and non-academic outcomes, but longer-term effects are unclear. To support decisionmaking about FDK in Oregon, Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest partnered with the Oregon Department of Education and one large Oregon school district on a study, Examining the implementation and impact of full-day kindergarten in Oregon. This infographic summarizes the study’s findings and implications. (author abstract)
