Kinder Module Assessment Scoring Process

Start by reviewing your observational notes from the lessons (including those on the Observational Assessment Recording Sheet or OARS). These notes provide insight into each student's understanding of the module’s achievement descriptors (ADs).

If you don’t have enough information from your observations to score a student on a particular achievement descriptor confidently, administer the module assessment. You can do this in a 1:1 setting or a small group. Score Using Module Assessment Data: After the assessment, use the data you gather to score each student on the achievement descriptors.

Each achievement descriptor is tied to a specific question number, as outlined in the Achievement Descriptors document for the module.
