[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]These are the standards that are used for the kindergarten readiness assessment. Is there anything on this list that you think that a kindergarten should not be able to do in the beginning of the year? [/quote]

Should?  Lots of Kindergarten kids cannot do those things at the beginning of the year.  These should be end of year for most kids.

The Common Core standards for kindergarten are for the end of the year.[/quote]

Yes,but the standards that are posted above are specifically for the kindergarten readiness assessment in the beginning of the year.  They are aligned with the Common Core, but were developed specifically for Maryland.[/quote]

Where did whoever posted that link get the information? All I saw was a context-less list of standards, with no explanation of where or how people use them.[/quote]

These are the standards that are used for the newly revised kindergarten readiness assessment, which is used in every K class in Maryland.  I thought this whole thread is about the assessment (which everyone seems to be opposed to, but doesn't understand.) In other words, all of the items on the assessment (which is based on teacher observation) are designed to measure whether students are proficient on these skills.  When you hear that X% of kindergarten students are demonstrating readiness for K, that is the % of students who can demonstrate proficiency in these skills. Teachers use KRA results to better target instruction to students who need help in different areas. [/quote]
