KITS TESTIMONIALS

What parents say...

Kristi, a first-time parent from Bohemia Elementary was concerned because her son suffered from separation anxiety and was terribly shy. She had been dreading kindergarten for months. Then she heard about KITS. She was hopeful and her hope paid off. With solid direction and encouragement of his KITS teachers, it did not take Raylen long to gain confidence and begin making friends. The combination of the KITS classroom and the parent group provided the opportunity for Kristi and Raylen to learn new skills that would make their school year successful. When she dropped him off the first day of school Raylen hesitated slightly, his eyes held a couple of tears because mom was going to leave. But, he knew he wanted to be there! She knew he wanted to be there! Raylen walked into his classroom prepared. Kristi had thought she would be sad watching him enter his first day of school, but she was not. This was a SUCCESS! She did not shed one tear. Raylen would be more than okay. Hear from other parents in the video below!

 

What educators say...

Kids across Lane County have gained a strong advantage and are entering kindergarten prepared, because they have attended the KITS Summer Program. Teachers are amazed at the skills KITS kids display on the first day of school! Crow-Applegate-Lorane Kindergarten teacher Nicole exclaims, “We hit the ground running! So many kids were involved in KITS that they just helped pull the other kiddos up by their bootstraps, and it’s like ‘this is how we do it’!”

KITS REQUIREMENTS

Coaching and Videotaping

KITS uses ongoing coaching to support educators in the implementation of the model. We do this through viewing groups on video, weekly team meetings, and fidelity monitoring. Your team will record KITS School Readiness and Parent Groups and upload each session to a secure online platform (such as Box.com). The videos are only used as a means to support KITS staff. We promise it’s not scary!

Your KITS team will meet every week to talk about what is working well and areas where you may be experiencing challenges. During these meetings, teams and coaches will work together to problem-solve challenges, offer support and encouragement, and celebrate successes!

If parents or students do not wish to be recorded, they can be seated out of view or for online parent groups they may turn off their cameras.
