Development System

The California Department of Education has
endeavored to capture a vision for the “what”
and the “how” of early childhood education and
to think about the way the components of our
professional development system would fit into
this vision.

The Desired Results System
7
Purpose of the Desired Results
Assessment System
Serves as a framework for documenting
progress of individual children
Gives teachers concrete information to plan
and modify curriculum for children
Document how children are benefiting from
programs
Target technical assistance for ongoing
program quality improvement

Desired Results Developmental
Profile (DRDP)
Individual child assessment
An observation-based assessment tool, not
a test
Completed by each child’s teacher
Based on developmental research and
theory
Includes developmental sequences of
behaviors along a continuum
DRDP-SR©
Foundations/Standards-Aligned
DRDP Instruments
Infant/Toddler (DRDP-IT)
Preschool (DRDP-PS)

Alignment of DRDP Instruments to
the Foundations
Grounded in same current research
DRDP delineates a continuum of
development for individual children which
represent a sampling of core areas of
development delineated in the Foundations
DRDP is organized by Foundation domains

Assessment for TK and K teachers to:
Observe
Document
Reflect on
Learning, development, and progress of
children’s readiness for kindergarten in
5 developmental domains
DRDP-SR©
4 Primary Purposes of
©
DRDP-SR
1. Psychometric measurement of children’s
development in key domains of school
readiness
2. Support transition between preschool and
TK/K
3. Research tool
4. Professional development tool
DRDP-SR©
Purpose 1
Provide teachers with a valid and reliable
psychometric measurement of individual
children’s development in the key domains of
school readiness
DRDP-SR©
What does the

DRDP-SR
assess?
15
Children’s development in key domains of
school readiness
English Language Development (ELD)
Self & Social Development (SSD)
Self-regulation (REG)
Language and Literacy Development (LLD)
Mathematical Development (MATH)
DRDP-SR©
16
Purpose 2
Link assessment information through the DRDP-PS©
and the DRDP-SR© instruments that will support:
Common
language for children’s development between
teachers in preschool, TK, and K
The
overall transition of children from preschool to
TK/kindergarten

Purpose 3
Use the DRDP-SR© as a research tool
DRDP-SR©
Aggregate
©
DRDP-SR data
to:
Understand and investigate developmental
readiness of groups of TK/K children
To provide schools and districts with data for
program improvement
Share results with families for common
understanding of each child’s strengths and the
path to continued development
DRDP-SR©
An important caveat:
Using ratings of children’s learning based on
observations conducted by the teachers who
are being compared raises methodological
concerns
Validity and reliability assumptions for the
instrument only hold when the teacher provides
an objective assessment
DRDP-SR©
Making use of child and group
reports
Get to know developmental competencies of
children in your classroom
Use for curriculum planning for individual
children and groups of children
Use for parent-teacher conferences
Use to support continuous program
improvement efforts by teacher and principal
DRDP-SR©

DRDP-SR© Provides Snapshot of
Children’s Knowledge and Skills
DRDP-SR©
Purpose 4
Use of the DRDP-SR© as a professional
development tool that supports teacher
understanding and instructional practice
DRDP-SR©
A Professional Development Tool
In the process of using the DRDP-SR© teachers learn:
A
valid and reliable method for observing,
documenting, and reflecting on the learning,
development, and progress of all children in their
classrooms.
Detailed
developmental information about each child
based on specific research on child development
How
to integrate information from other required
assessments to inform their teaching

Study Update
DRDP-SR© Field Study
36
YEAR 1: 2009-2010
Both TK and K
classes
Data suggested
need for an
additional level at
the earlier end of
the developmental
continuum to capture
all children
YEAR 2: 2010-2011
Field Study of revised
instrument with 5 levels
for all measures
Fall 2011 data collection
in both TK and K classes
For spring 2012,
welcome additional TK
and K classes
Teacher Feedback, 2009-10
DRDP-SR© Field Study
The DRDP-SR provided an accurate and
complete picture of children’s development
DRDPtech-SR was user friendly
Teachers expressed some concern about how
long the instrument took to complete but also
expressed that it got easier as they went
along.
DRDP-SR©
Next Steps
38
Complete 2011-12 Field Study data collection
Calibrate the scale of measurement for the
instrument
Prepare DRDP-SR© instrument for release in
fall 2012
Release as a voluntary observational
assessment tool for use in kindergarten and
transitional kindergarten classrooms
