  15. Kindergarten Entry Assessment (KEA) Field Test 2013 • PURPOSE: • To gather data on assessment items that will inform refinement and selection of items for the full Census Administration in Fall 2014. The focus is on each assessment item relative to the intended skill being assessed by the item and the feasibility of use in classroom settings. • Further, the field test: • Investigates the accessibility of assessment items for all children • Includes gathering teacher feedback on the process of administering the assessment and the professional development they received

  20. Fall Administration of KEA • KEA is not to be administered before the start of school. • Window to assess students is from 1st day of school to November 1st.

  21. Fall Administration of KEA • If a district wants to use the KEA to assess students for Third Grade Guarantee, the Language and Literacy Domains can be administered first and scores submitted by the Sept. 30th deadline. • It is estimated that is will take approximately one hour per child to administer all the domains of the KEA.
