Remember that you can produce individual child reports for the DRDP assessments you completed this fall. The Child Report, Child Progress Report, and Peer Reference reports provide information that you can use to plan instruction; inform goals, outcomes, and learning targets; and share with families.
The California Department of Education, Special Education Division requires training for all early childhood special educators who assess children with the DRDP. SELPAs are responsible for ensuring that all staff who administer the DRDP complete training.
We hope you enjoy this year’s course, “Benny Having a Snack”.
Here’s what you need to know and do:
The ECTA Center Preschool During the Pandemic series illustrates how the fields of early education and early childhood special education have been successfully supporting preschoolers and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Episode 13, a new, two-part video was just added to the series.
Part 1: Home Learning Materials and Authentic Assessment
Part 2: Informing and Differentiating Instruction
The launch of the online course, “Using DR Access Reports,” is postponed until Local Education Agencies resume typical operations. If you have the opportunity, you can create your account at DR Access Reports and become acquainted with the reports and resources available.
This fall, the Desired Results Access Project is working on some exciting changes to the DRAccessReports System that will greatly enhance the system and make it easier for special educators to produce meaningful DRDP reports.
The training on "Using DR Access Reports" is postponed until the enhancements are in place – once they are, you’ll receive the training on the new features. We will keep you informed of the progress.
In the meanwhile: You can still produce reports! Create an account and download your fall DRDP (2015) results at DRAccessReports.org.
Also note: If you have not yet taken the required course (PS or IT), "Using the DRDP (2015) for Special Education," you must complete it by 12/31/2019. You can register to take it now at The Learning Center, DRAccessLearn.org.
