Kindergarten Assessment

Background

In March of 2012, ODE and the Early Learning Council were directed to create an assessment of incoming kindergarten students.  This test will provide a consistent state-wide snapshot of the entry status of all Oregon kindergarteners.  The snapshot will help direct state and local policy to provide resources and training to early eductors or to fill geographic or demographic gaps in early learning programs so that all students enter Kindergarten ready to learn.
