 Welcome to the review process for collecting evaluation data for the gearing up for kindergarten program in North Dakota. We collect evaluation data once at the beginning of the program and again at the end. NDSU will send a gearing up for kindergarten materials packet before your program is set to begin. Inside the packet includes an instruction sheet, attendant sheets, two sets of parent child assessments, one to give at the beginning of the program, and another set to give at the end, ID labels, and one set of parent evaluations called practical parent assessment for school readiness. Please note there are four sets of identical ID labels for each participant. During the first or second session, have the parent sign their name on the registration attendant sheet. Place an ID label next to their name in the ID column. Then place an identical label in the upper right hand corner of the score sheet of the first set of parent child assessments. The ID label replaces the need to collect additional data such as school, town, and name on the evaluation. Therefore, it is important to make sure the ID labels match both the registration sheet and the assessment form you give the parent. Please tell parents to mark their child's responses on the assessment score sheet and not on the child assessment guide sheet. Administer and collect the assessments during the first or second session and mail them along with a copy of the attendant sheet to NDSU. The next time we collect evaluation data is during one of the last two sessions. Please assign the same ID label number for each parent and child that was previously used at the start of the program. Administer and collect the second set of parent child assessments and the practical parent assessment for school readiness parent evaluation and mail them to NDSU. Thank you for following these steps to continue to show the impact of the gearing up program in North Dakota.
