There are many ways in which we assess during kindergarten. The following are examples:

Informal anecdotal record keeping done by the teacher
Classroom based assessments and tests including beginning use of Core Instructional Practice
Rubrics (both student and teacher based)
Standards based report cards (utilizing a 4 point scale)
Writing samples/published pieces – evaluation
Developmental Reading Assessment 2 (1:1 student/teacher) given to all students in the fall and spring
STAR Enterprise online assessments in early literacy and math (4 times per year)
