Kindergarten School Readiness Data Collection

Overview

The purpose of the Kindergarten School Readiness (KSR) data collection is to provide baseline data for measuring improvement in students' knowledge and skills over time and to collect data needed to fulfill statutory requirements for an annual legislative report.

Data reported to CDE will be from the initial fall assessment window. The initial assessment is to be completed within the first 60 calendar days of the school year as required by HB 15-1323. The collection will be open from mid-October to mid-December each year.

Announcements

The State Board of Education voted on March 11, 2020 to add named domains to the reporting requirements for CDE. This change is reflected in the File Layout and Definitions section below. This change does not change any requirements around the administration of the assessment.
