  13. Components of Engage CIRCLE Assessment System – Formerly C-PALLS+ Online Professional Development Coursework (eCIRCLE) Remote Coaching *Provided to teachers on a competitive-basis

  14. Assessment Overview • The CIRCLE Assessment System is a newly revised version of the Center for Improving the Readiness of Children for Learning and Education (CIRCLE) Phonological Awareness Language and Literacy System (C-PALLS, 2004). • Over subsequent years, the assessment system was expanded to include math (2008) and science (2013). However, educators asked our team of researchers to develop an integrated assessment system that would cover the content included in the Head Start’s Assessment Framework.

  15. Why Do Teachers Assess?Using Data to Improve Practice

  16. Why CIRCLE Assessment System? • Well established reliability and validity when used with 3 and 4 year olds (relates to other tests and predicts child outcomes). • Designed to be administered quickly and yield immediate feedback and suggestions for teachers.  • Texas School Ready! model research demonstrates that the CIRCLE Assessment System and the activity groupings/suggestions improved child outcomes.

  17. How often is the CIRCLE Assessment Given? The assessment is given three times out of the year. • BOY – Beginning of the Year • MOY – Middle of the Year • EOY – End of the Year Districts will provide dates for each of the assessment windows.

  18. Assessment Environment • Have the child sit beside you in a quiet area of the classroom to complete CIRCLE Assessment tasks. • Place the computer in a position that allows you to operate the keyboard while you and the child look the screen. • *Note: The child should not see the screen during the phonological awareness assessments.

  19. Technology Essentials • To access the CLI Engage platform, you will need the following: • Desktop Computer, Laptop, or Tablet • Assessment cannot be administered on a device with a screen smaller than 7”. • Internet Access • Assessment cannot currently be administered offline.

CIRCLE Assessment System CIRCLE Assessment is divided into direct measures and observables: • Direct Assessment • Rapid Letter Naming and Rapid Vocabulary Naming • Phonological Awareness • Math Screener • Book and Print • Story Retell • Receptive Tasks – Science and Social Studies • Letter Sound Correspondence • Observables: • Early Writing • Social Emotional

  32. 1. Rapid Tasks 60-second timed assessments that provide a snapshot of what a child knows at that given time.

  33. Rapid Letter Naming • This assessment is given to evaluate a student’s ability to identify the alphabet. • The Rapid Letter Naming assessments are timed assessments. • The students will be given a total of 60 seconds to respond to the letters that appear on the screen. • Students must respond within 3 seconds. If 3 seconds elapse without a response it is automatically scored as incorrect. • When to Record the Response: • If the child correctly names the letter • If the child says “I don’t know” • If the child provides an incorrect response
