Kindergarten readiness assessment requirementsKRI -What are On My Way Pre-k Programs Required To Do? Administer the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) adopted by the state board of education On September 4, 2019 the Indiana State Board of Education adopted a Kindergarten Readiness Indicators (KRI) that had been previously presented to them for consideration. More information on this can be found at: https://www.in.gov/sboe/files/Kindergarten%20Readin ess%20Assessment%20Resolution.pdf
How was the KRI Developed?
Goal of KRI: Easy-to-administer tool capable of
measuring, with good reliability, literacy, oral language,
and math skills of Indiana preschoolers as they near
entry into Kindergarten.
Each indicator of readiness is built upon the University
of Chicago Getting on Track Early for School Success
(GoT), specifically selected to cover one, or more than
one, key Topic in Indiana’s Early Learning Development
Framework for English/Language Arts (ELA) and
2
MathematicsWhat will be covered in the KRI? The tool provides indicators of Kindergarten readiness at the local (e.g., program, city, county) and state levels of aggregation in six academic content areas predictive of school success. Areas assessed will be knowledge of • Letter names • Letter sounds • Rhyming proficiency • Sentence comprehension • Numeracy • Spatial skills
How will the KRI be Implemented? The KRI will be mandatory only for those programs who are supporting OMW Pre-k students and is anticipated to be administered in March of 2020. Training will be required for any teacher who will administer the assessment. Training will be offered in two mechanisms, either in person or via Indiana Learning Paths. Teachers who take the training must also be certified in order to administer the assessment. The certification will occur at the in person training or virtually, whichever is most convenient for the teacher. These trainings will be offered at no cost to the educator and at as many times as possible that do not take them out of the classroom.
Timeline for Training Training content is currently being developed by the University of Chicago. Once contract paperwork is finalized by OECOSL, trainings will be scheduled (tentatively in February 2020) and be made available online. Training will be provided by the University of Chicago staff. OMW Pre-k programs will be contacted by OECOSL and their Pre-K managers with more information as dates/times are finalized.
How will the KRI be Implemented?
An easy-to-use, mobile-optimized web application
guides the teacher through the KRI items as it collects
and stores item responses and the time it takes to
administer each item.
The anticipated time to administer each assessment is
12-15 minutes per student.Any Expected Costs to OMW
Pre-k Providers?
The majority of the costs associated with
administering this assessment will be absorbed by
OECOSL however, programs may need to plan to
cover the costs of paying for teacher time to attend
training or providing substitutes to cover an absence
in the classroom so that they can attend the
training.
Materials and manipulatives are required for the
assessment however, those will be provided to
programs at no charge.Are there any Exceptions? If there are programs that do not have either the appropriate device to use or reliable internet a waiver will be vouchered. We have waiver forms with us for you to sign today- please make sure if you need a waiver to complete one of these forms today! If you do not have authority to sign for your program, please let us know and the signed form can be emailed (pre-k@fssa.in.gov )or faxed (317-234-6905) to OECOSL.
