 Collecting Evaluation Data for Gearing Up for Kindergarten Let's review the process of collecting the data for Gearing Up for Kindergarten Program in North Dakota. We collect evaluations two times, once at the beginning of the program and once at the end. The NDSU Extension Service will send evaluation forms, ID labels, registration sheets, and instruction sheet before your scheduled start date. Please note that there are three identical labels for each participant. During the first or second session, please have the parents sign in on the attendance registration sheet, place one ID label next to their name in the ID label column, place an identical numbered label each on the participant's evaluations forms, the practical parent assessment for school readiness or the PPASR, short form time one, and the parent child score sheet and child assessment sheet, time one in the upper right hand corner. The label replaces the need to collect school, town, city, parents name, child's name, etc. It is important to make sure that the ID labels are identical on both the registration sheet and the evaluation forms of the parent. Administer and collect the surveys at the first or second session. As parents complete the evaluations, have them return the instruments back to program staff. Check to make sure that they have completed the identifying information on the registration sheet and their ID labels are identical on the registration sheet, the PPASR, and the parent child score sheet and child assessment sheet. Please fax the registration sheet and mail the surveys to NDSU. The next time we collect the evaluation data is during one of the last two sessions. NDSU Extension Service will mail a second set of evaluation forms and ID labels before your final class. Please assign the same number and label to each parent and child that was used previously at the start of the program. For example, if a parent child was assigned 255 earlier, that same parent child should be assigned number 255 for the last evaluation. Place the matching ID label on the registration sheet and the time to evaluation form. Please mail the evaluations to the address on your screen.
