In our PK classrooms the assessment tools that we use to track children's development are the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP), the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), and Kinder Transition Forms.
Here you will find information and resources for completing these assessments.
In OUSD, we use Learning Genie for DRDP assessment and reporting.
If you need any support with Learning Genie, call them at 760-576-4822 or email help@learning-genie.com. Also, you can reach out to your early learning coach, or principal! We are here to support you!
For additional support with using Learning Genie:
The Summary of Findings is a brief reflection tool used after completing DRDP assessments. It helps educators look at patterns in student data (such as strengths, emerging skills, and areas for growth) across the whole class.
Why Do We Use It?
To inform curriculum planning and classroom strategies
To identify targeted supports for individual or small groups of students
To reflect on how well the classroom environment and instruction are meeting developmental needs
To ensure we are meeting quality standards and using data to guide improvement
The Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ) is a developmental screening tool used in preschool (PK) to identify a child’s strengths and potential areas where additional support may be needed.
Parents or caregivers are the best source of information about their child. That’s why ASQ questionnaires are designed to be filled out by them, taking roughly 10-15 minutes per questionnaire (two total).
Completed by families, usually within the first 60 days of enrollment
Helps teachers better understand the child’s development from the family’s perspective
Results are used to guide conversations during parent-teacher conferences and help inform classroom planning
If needed, results can support referrals for further evaluation or services
[Coming Soon ]
Kindergarten/TK Transition Forms help ensure a smooth transition for preschool (PK) students moving on to TK or Kindergarten in the fall. These forms provide receiving teachers with helpful information about each child’s development, strengths, and any supports they’ve received.
When Are They Completed?
Transition forms are due at the end of May for all PK students moving on to TK or Kindergarten. Expect email from Aleja Rambonga with more information
Who Completes Them?
All PK teachers complete a transition form for each student going to TK/K next year.
For students who have received additional support (e.g., instructional coaches, Family Navigators, MTSS), teachers should collaborate with those team members to complete the form accurately.
