Assessment of Students

The Independence Preschool Program utilized the GOLD Assessment, in conjunction with the Creative Curriculum. The GOLD Assessment is a Formative Assessment that is embedded into everyday interactions with our preschool students. The GOLD Assessment is aligned with the Ohio Early Learning Standards.

GOLD Assessment Information

Families of preschool students will receive a GOLD Assessment Report Card in January and in May.

Students progress will be shared with parents during Fall and Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences.

Preschool Students will complete the following screenings within 60 days of entering the program:

-Hearing

-Vision

-Developmental Screening

These results will be shared with families during Fall Conferences.

Preschool Students will also participate in the Early Learning Assessment. The Early Learning Assessment is a part of Ohio's Ready for Kindergarten Assessment System. Students will participate in this assessment twice a year, in November and in May. This information will also be included in the GOLD Assessment reporting.

Please contact your child's teacher or Lauren Salcer with any concerns about your child's development or assessment results.
