Notes from FAST:
Retained Kindergarteners
For districts to receive full-time (80) funding for kindergarteners they need to be retained by the district because they have a significant reading deficiency.
Audit documentation will need to show that the decision to retain was made in the prior school year

30. Overview of Kindergarten School Readiness Data Reporting
7/23/2018
Overview of Kindergarten School Readiness Data Reporting
Passed in 2008, Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids (CAP4K) requires districts to report school readiness data to the Colorado Department of Education.
In March 2016, the State Board of Education voted to adopt a system for reporting school readiness data.
The system calls for districts to submit only aggregate readiness information not by domain, but by number of domains in which students demonstrate readiness as illustrated in the following sample tables.

31. Data Reporting Elements
As required by Colorado law (Section (1)(b) C.R.S.), school readiness includes both developmental and academic areas: physical well-being and motor development, social and emotional development, language and comprehension, cognition, and general knowledge (math and literacy).
Teaching Strategies GOLD ® areas: Social-Emotional, Physical, Language, Cognitive, Literacy and Math.
The reporting system is intended to provide baseline data for measuring improvement in students’ knowledge and skills over time.
READ (HB )
-If a district administers the READ Act assessment in the first 60 days of the school year, it is not required to administer the literacy component of the school readiness assessment.
-Information gleaned from READ assessments administered within the first 60 days can be used to inform the literacy component of the school readiness kindergarten entry assessment. Data can be used from READ to enter data into the KEA survey’s literacy area.
-All 6 required areas must be completed in the school readiness assessment for kindergarten entry within the first 60 days.

32. Data Reporting Elements
Data reported to CDE will be from the initial fall assessment window for school readiness, which is the first 60 calendar days of the school year as required by HB
Various assessment tools have been approved by the State Board and are available for use: GOLD® by Teaching Strategies, HighScope Child Observation Record (COR), and DRDP-K.
For districts using GOLD ®:
Kindergarten teachers may complete the initial assessment by using the Kindergarten Entry Assessment (KEA) Survey in GOLD® for the first checkpoint.
Teaching Strategies is developing a customized report within the assessment tool that will allow districts to automatically aggregate and report on the state board approved data reporting elements. The report will be available in the early Fall.
The Kindergarten School Readiness (KSR) collection will be open from mid October to mid December.
Data will be submitted through Data Pipeline.
Districts may also use the reduced-item set of objectives and dimensions to complete the KEA.
NOTE: Some districts have obtained state board approved waivers from using these assessment tools; however, the waiver is from the assessment tool and not from the collection.

33. Sample School Readiness Report by District

Data will be reported in aggregate for the district as a whole

34. Sample School Readiness Report by School

Data will be disaggregated by school by gender, free or reduced lunch eligibility status, and race/ethnicity

35. Kindergarten School Readiness (KSR) Updates
How will the school readiness contacts and data respondents connect?
If you would like assistance connecting with your district’s school readiness contact, please me
It will be up to the district to decide who will be submitting the data in Data Pipeline- whether that be the data respondent or the school readiness contact.
The reason for connecting with the school readiness contacts is that this role should have access to the report in GOLD®, for those districts using GOLD®.
For districts that are using Teaching Strategies, we understand that Teaching Strategies may be a new thing for many of you. However, it shouldn’t be new for your school readiness contact.

36. Kindergarten School Readiness (KSR) Updates (continued)
Can Teaching Strategies upload data straight to CDE?
No. The State Board of Education entered into an MOU with Teaching Strategies which disallows Teaching Strategies from providing CDE with direct access to the data. Districts must upload data to CDE.
Will trainings be offered?
Yes, we will be offering trainings on how to download the report from GOLD® and upload to Data Pipeline in early September.

Assessment Menu (~11:35)
Assessment Implementation (16:42-20:09)
Data Collection (26:46-35:05)
Note: If there are other aspects that you would like training on or would like information on that is not readily accessible, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

37. Timeline Goals for July Goals for August Goals for September
Connect with school readiness contacts
If you need assistance with this, please me at

About half of districts have completed this step- thank you!
Goals for August
CDE will follow up with districts who have not assigned the KSR-APPROVER role in IdM in mid-August
Mark down our training dates as they are released via , in town halls, and on our website
Goals for September
Attend trainings of interest; these will be announced and posted to our website:
Weekly s will begin around mid-September for those assigned to the collection (about one month prior to the collection opening)

Most updated file layout can be found here
If you have any other questions or concerns, please me. I would love to know what questions are on your mind.
NOTE: The file layout has been updated and posted to our website- the ONLY change was putting the district-level report on the same tab as the school-level report, since only one file will be submitted through Data Pipeline.
