READINESS<br />
UPDATE<br />
School readiness goals mean<br />
the expectations of children’s<br />
status and progress across<br />
domains of language and literacy<br />
development, cognition and<br />
general knowledge, approaches<br />
to learning, physical wellbeing<br />
and motor development,<br />
and social and emotional<br />
development that will improve<br />
their readiness for kindergarten.<br />
Economic Security Corporation<br />
Head Start and Early Head Start<br />
assesses children at regular<br />
intervals throughout the year.<br />
The data is then aggregated to<br />
analyze results and make informed<br />
decisions regarding adjustments<br />
to individual child, classroom and<br />
program strategies.<br />
90%<br />
of Head Start children<br />
entering Kindergarten<br />
will achieve 90% or<br />
above in each domain.<br />
90%<br />
of Head Start children<br />
will be at expected age<br />
level in each domain.<br />
• We achieved our goal in all 6<br />
of the domains measured. This<br />
marks nine assessments cycles<br />
in a row with 90% achievement<br />
in each domain.<br />
• We achieved 90% in six out of<br />
seven domains measured.<br />
• Mathematics, the one domain<br />
where we fell slightly below<br />
90%, had the largest gains for<br />
children during the school year,<br />
gaining over 67 points from<br />
initial assessment scores.<br />
