The purpose of this report is to provide an evaluation of the experiences of the 2005-2006 pilot junior kindergarten schools. Data sources included administrative data provided by the Department of Education (DOE) as well as surveys and focus group interviews conducted with pilot school teachers and principals. Surveys were returned from 113 teachers representing thirty-one different schools, or 84 percent of the pilot school cohort. Surveys were also returned from twenty-four school administrators (mostly school principals), representing 65 percent of the pilot school cohort. A total of thirty-six teachers and thirty-three administrators, representing thirty-three of the thirty-seven pilot schools, participated in the focus group interviews. Major findings, and recommendations are provided. [This report was sponsored by the Hawai'i State Department of Education.]
