Abstract (written by WestEd)
This document, available in seven languages in addition to English, proffers competencies in each of four domains essential for four- and five-year olds to be ready for kindergarten: social-emotional development, language and literacy, English-language development, and mathematics. For most domains, the document lists "foundations": descriptions and examples of children's behavior at 48 and 60 months of age, to provide a guideline for educators of young children. In the domain of English-language development, the foundations are not based age but rather based on English language proficiency. All foundations incorporate principles of universal design for learning that take learning disabilities into account.

WestEd has worked extensively over the years to understand and overcome the challenges of "low-performing schools." Our work includes direct services and research both in and out of school settings to increase the education opportunities for all children. And we develop resources and research to help policymakers better support schools and communities. This issue of R&D Alert includes a sampling of what we have learned from our work in these areas.
