Through its current Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot, teachers and families and school administrators can learn more about the status of their child’s literacy and numeracy development, social and emotional development, and physical development at one key point in time. The Snapshot is an innovative, electronic application-based measure to be administered by teachers early in the school year to capture specific facets of what children entering school know and can do. Findings are intended to be used formatively at the classroom and school levels to support instructional planning and at the district level to better understand any changes that may emerge over time in the developmental readiness of children in the North State at school entry.
Questions included in the Snapshot are based on questions from other validated or commonly used assessments (i.e., Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP), California Department of Education Preschool Learning Foundation’s 60 month Goals).
