ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The analyses reported here were based on the National Core Data sets collected for the National Evaluation of the Head Start/ Public School Early Childhood Transition Demonstration Project, which was designed and implemented by the National Transition Demonstration Consortium. The Consortium was comprised of Principal Investigators and Project Directors from each of the 31 local sites, Principal Investigators and staff from the Civitan International Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham ( UAB) , staff from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families ( ACYF) , and a National Research Advisory Panel/ Technical Work Group for the study.
We are deeply appreciative of the collaboration , advice, and support received from colleagues throughout the country. This project was ambitious and required much dedication and active problem-solving to fulfill its goals. The findings reported here provide an overview of the results of 31 distinct programs and evaluations, and the engagement of literally hundreds of individuals and many community agencies and organizations at each local site.
Members of the Consortium, including current members and those who have been involved in the Transition Demonstration effort since its inception in 1991, are listed below. ( Note: any omissions from this extensive list are inadvertent. Gratitude is extended to all persons who are or have been part of the National Transition Demonstration Consortium over the past 5 years. ) Dates of service vary by individual. Current members of Consortium are indicated by *
The national evaluation was supported by grants from the Head Start Bureau of the Administration on Children, Youth, and Families to each of the 31 local demonstration sites, as well as by a coordinating contract ( # 105-91-1935) to the Civitan International Research Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
