Description¶

The ELTM's approach, as titled by the report, is using assessment data to inform teacher practice: integrating a computerized adaptive assessment (CPAA) into preschool classroom practice alongside an existing teacher rating (DRDP-PS) so that "the addition of the CPAA expands the information available to teachers and parents regarding children's progress."
