Tools
- Understanding Academic Performance & Growth Patterns in VPK
This dashboard is a tool to understand patterns of FAST kindergarten readiness scores when entering the VPK program, and growth in FAST scores during the program, relate to child VPK attendance and child- and family-level contextual variables. Interactive plots display subgroups defined by patterns of scores, attendance, and contextual variables. Additional tools examine subgroup geography, descriptive statistics, and subgroup-specific associations between contextual variables and FAST growth.
- Visualizing Child Contextual Associations with Kindergarten Readiness
The UpSet Plot is a tool to understand how different groupings of child- and family-level contextual variables relate to kindergarten readiness. Rather than focusing on one variable at a time, the UpSet provides readers with a holistic, person-centered lens to explore kindergarten readiness. Exploring the UpSet Plot will help readers to understand the interplay between how children’s life circumstances work synergistically to shape their learning.
