Policies, Practices, and Leadership to Create Aligned and Integrated P-12 Learning Systems in Two States and Ontario A project funded by the McCormick Foundation Erika Hunt and Lisa Hood Center for the Study of Education Policy Illinois State University

Leadership to Integrate the Learning Continuum (LINC)  Supporting leaders in early childhood and K-12 to develop and nurture a seamless learning continuum centered on children's learning and development  Website:

Research Questions 1. What is the context and nature of the linkages and partnerships between early learning providers and (P)K-12 schools involved in the collaboration? What are the promising alignment and coordination practices currently implemented? 2. What are the most current issues and barriers to creating a seamless learning continuum? 3. What actions do practitioners recommend that would facilitate their efforts to develop and sustain a P-12 learning continuum? What federal, state, and local policies would eliminate current barriers to an effective P-12 continuum?
