Example Sentences

When California launched its historic expansion of public education in 2020 with the addition of a new grade level — TK, short for transitional kindergarten — a key component was missing: teacher training to understand how the 4-year-old brain learns.

“The development of TK brought home that we weren’t really preparing teachers to teach little kids,” though much is at stake when it comes to a child’s earliest years in school.

Beginning next year, the state will require elementary school teachers in TK classrooms to have the equivalent of 24 units of early childhood education or development credits, about eight classes.

For parents who are considering TK, the enhanced training means their child’s first experiences in public school will probably be steeped in joyful, play-based lessons designed to help the state’s youngest learners develop social skills and a love of learning, and lay the early foundations for literacy and math in environments that look little like a traditional classroom.

“A great concern in the early childhood community was that TK would bring a more academic focus to preschool than is appropriate for these learners,” said Mary Vixie Sandy, executive director of California’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
