Using Pre-K Data to Support Tier 1
and PIRT Processes

• Developmental Screenings: Use tools like Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) or Brigance Early Childhood Screens to assess developmental milestones in areas like motor skills, communication, social-emotional development, and problem-solving.
  
• Observational Data: Record observations from teachers and aides on children's behaviors, interactions, and learning patterns. Note specific areas where children may struggle or excel.
• Formative Assessments: Utilize ongoing assessments, such as anecdotal notes, checklists, and portfolios, to capture evidence of children's progress in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills.
• Family Input: Include data from family surveys or parent-teacher conferences to understand children's behaviors at home and in community settings.

By using Pre-K data effectively, educators can provide a strong foundation for all students, ensure early identification of needs, and build a robust framework for continuous improvement in teaching and learning processes.
