LESSON 1: Welcome
Educators understand that children who are not ready for kindergarten when they enter the classroom are at great risk of falling even further behind during the kindergarten year. This can leave children unprepared for the more difficult challenges of first grade and beyond.
The Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) helps you assess your students at the very start of the kindergarten year - academically, of course, but also around other key factors like social and motor skills and executive functioning. The data you collect with the KRA helps you to know your students better and can guide your planning, grouping and instruction to address their needs. In short, the KRA tells you exactly where your students need help - so you can help them right now during the pivotal kindergarten year.
This interactive will dive deeper into the KRA. You will learn from teachers in the field about how they use it in their practice.
