[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of misinformation here. Maryland has a kindergarten readiness assessment administered in all kindergarten classrooms. It includes comprehensive measures of learning and development, including: math, language/literacy, social foundations, and physical and motor development. It is only used to guide instruction and to measure aggregate student trends. This year, the state rolled out a new version of the assessment with a higher bar for readiness and scores dropped. It is aligned to the Common Core in math and reading, but includes domains not included in the Common Core. I don't have direct experience with the assessment, so I can't comment on whether it was developmentally appropriate. Usually when new assessments are introduced, though, scores drop in the first year and then improve over time. [/quote]
