The KITS Programs are a family of evidence-based curricula that promote school success by strengthening children’s skills, increasing parental involvement, and supporting educators across the transition to kindergarten.

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.
