2022 Wisconsin State Education Convention

Transforming the Experience of 4-Year-Old Kindergarten (Room 103 A/B, WI Center)

Session attendees will learn how the Pewaukee School District reimagined early learning by creating an immersive 4-year-old kindergarten experience. This model provides play-based learning using science and social studies themes with deep infusion of literacy and numeracy. Since implementation, Pewaukee has seen academic and social-emotional skill development soar. Presenters will show how classrooms can be physically transformed into a museum-like environment that is fiscally sustainable and yields positive learning outcomes.
