Kinder Transition Teacher Leaders (KTTLs)

These teacher leaders are dyads of Kindergarten/TK and Preschool teachers working together to transform how schools engage young children and their families to ensure early school success.

The following is a list of Kinder Transition Teacher Leaders (PreK-Kinder) working together at their school sites to support early school success from preschool to elementary school.
