Education Content Area Info…
This report includes data available for Children enrolled in Head Start and Early Head Start 8 children 6 weeks to one year old 13 children one to two years old 16 children two to three years old 58 children preschool/ three years old 62 children pre- k/ four years old Most of the glitches are resolved from the previous checkpoints: Shaftsbury early childhood center and oak hill children’s center data is still to be obtained at report time The Head Start current disability rate for the group is 12.4%. There are currently Head Start children being evaluated for IEP services, this number will increase to reflect the Head Start requirement of 10%. The Early Head Start current disability rate is 27.5%. School Readiness Information includes data from the Four Year old group only. All objectives in each domain were analyzed, and the lower performing skills were selected to track progress on School Readiness for this school year Program assessment tool is Teaching Strategies GOLD Areas of Learning & Development. This tool aligns with Vermont Early Learning Standards (vels) and Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (hselof); and is research based and scientifically normed. Information is obtained through teacher observation and assessment. Scores are based on how well children perform each objective according to developmentally appropriate expectations according to their age level. Only Lead Teachers assess children & all have completed Interrater Reliability Certification to ensure valid and reliable results. Some Early head start teachers are still working on interrater reliability at this time. This data becomes part of the annual Self-Assessment for monitoring and planning. This data is used by classroom teachers and education management to plan classroom experiences in learning centers, small groups, large groups, and individual goal setting, as well as to inform program purchasing and teacher training opportunities. It is reported to families, the community and community partners, staff, Policy Council, the governing United Children’s Services Board, and Quality Council, a task force at our grantee agency, UCS.

Scientific Reasoning Objectives: SCHOOL READINESS:
Children will use scientific inquiry skills Children will demonstrate knowledge of the characteristics of living things Children will demonstrate knowledge of the physical properties of objects and materials Children will demonstrate knowledge of the Earth’s environment Children will use tools and other technology to perform tasks SCHOOL READINESS: Data shows one skill objective to target & track: Uses scientific inquiry skills 56.4% emerging 43.6% Meets program expectation Scoring based on “Not Yet”, “Emerging”, or “Meets Program Expectation”, rather than TSGOLD Progressions, due to educational research

Next Steps… Teachers meet with families at conferences and share final progress data. For those continuing to kindergarten, reports are also shared with receiving school Information will be shared with Policy Council on june 12, through the program newsletter with all families and community partners, with all staff at the data carousel event on june 25, with UCS Division Directors and UCH Board Members at appropriate Directors/ Board Meetings and UCS Quality Task Force, and part of the upcoming annual self-assessment professional development opportunities in will be provided by Head Start Training and Technical Assistance, NEHSA, CCV, VT AOE, and BCCCA and also this summer through Castleton University. Early head start teachers will complete interrater reliability training in children’s assessments in tsgold before the fall checkpoint Spring 2018 and fall 2018 data will be reviewed in the fall to determine data tracking information for goals for the school year
