Summary Statements

Summary Statement 1 Of those children who entered the program below age expectations in the Outcome Area, the percent who substantially increased their rate of growth by the time they exit the program. Progress categories (c + d) (a + b + c + d) The first summary statement is about children who made ‘more than expected’ progress while they were in the program. Children who make ‘more than expected’ progress are those who move up on the COSF 7-point rating scale. They include children who ‘catch up’ to age level (which is progress category d) and also children who do not catch up, but move closer to age level by the time they leave the program (which is progress category c). For this summary statement, states will set targets for the percentage of children who leave the program having caught up, or having moved closer, to age level.

Summary Statement 2 The percent of children who are functioning within age expectations in the Outcome Area by the time they exit the program. Progress categories (d + e) (a + b + c + d + e) The second summary statement is about children who leave the program at age level. Children who leave the program at age level are those who move up to a 6 or 7 on the COSF 7-point rating scale (which is progress category d) or who maintain a level of 6 or 7 for entry and exit COSF ratings (which is progress category e). For this summary statement, states will set targets for the percentage of children who leave the program having caught up to or maintained age level.
