indicators across five developmental skill areas: Social Interpersonal (3 indicators) Language Comprehension and Expression (3

indicators) Cognitive Competence (2 indicators) Math skills (3 indicators) Literacy Skills (4 indicators)

What do we want to learn from the yearly KEDP?

What does the KEDP say about how children are doing on these skills areas as they enter kindergarten?

How are the KEDP results changing over time?

What factors may influence children’s readiness for school as measured by KEDP process?

on an increasingly regular basis. Developing (2): Child is just beginning

to exhibit behavior. Exploring (1): Child has never exhibited

the behavior.

What is “Ready for School”? Children are assessed as being “Ready

for School” if their average scores have reached the level of “Integrating”(4) or “Building” (3)

Summary Comments: KEDP 2013 2013 KEDP dataset included 77% of enrolled K-children &

participation by 11 of 12 public schools with K-programs. Overall, data collected at mean of 2.2 months of K-

experience. Overall, 54% of children entering kindergarten in fall 2013

scored “ready for school” based on the KEDP. Math and Literacy skills remained strengths, while social

interpersonal, language comprehension and expression, and cognitive skills lagged in readiness.

Age and Pre-K experience prior to entering kindergarten were significant factors in school readiness based on the KEDP.

Other factors such as a child’s health status, ease in transitioning to kindergarten, family’s economic status, and parent’s education may also potentially impact readiness.
