Thank you for hosting our team of evaluators to better support your program’s educational success. We are looking forward to reviewing the results of the assessments the Connor Street Early Childhood Program participated in with the families, staff, and children. We will also be discussing how to create goals for the program and providing recommendations on how to implement those goals. This will also be a great opportunity to ask questions and discuss your ideas on how you as educators will implement these ideas into your classrooms.
All About Your Program
● Connor Street serves low-income and working-class families.
● Evaluation data is based of four classrooms of 4-year-olds. Each class has one teacher and one assistant teacher.
(Walden University, 2022)
Connor Street Early Childhood Program is made up of 20% Hispanic students, 2 students are Asian, and 3 students are from the Caribbean. The school serves working-class and low-income families and as a result all but three of the students in the program are at school between 7 to 9 hours a day. The evaluation data is based on four classrooms of 4-year-olds with one teacher and one assistant teacher.

(Walden University, 2022)
When looking at the NAEYC Self-Assessment Family Survey, there were many survey questions where all 29 families surveyed acknowledged strengths within the Connor Street program. This reflects many of the wonderful things you as staff are doing at Connor Street! Families noted that the staff at Connor Street were good teachers who cared for their children. Families said staff had a good relationship with the children and parents and are good at communicating what is going on at school and checking in to see how things are going at home. Families acknowledged that they knew the rules and procedures of the school and Connor Street’s mission and philosophy. Families surveyed felt that Connor Street staff actively engaged with families and the community through events. Lastly, families felt they were invited into the classrooms to participate in their child’s learning throughout the year.

The document summarizes a research study on exploring gender inclusive language through Krashen's theory of language acquisition among teachers in San Guillermo Elementary. The study found that teachers have a strong understanding of gender inclusivity but only a slight awareness of gender sensitivity. It also found that teachers are highly employing Krashen's monitor and affective filter concepts in teaching English. The proposed course of action to strengthen gender inclusive language skills includes seminars, workshops and implementing projects to promote its use in teaching.

Program and Evaluation Tool Planning
Part 1
Identified Program in Early Childhood Education
Becoming part of Mayor Keller’s taskforce places one in a pivotal role of influencing the change process in matters that affect Grand City area. Early childhood education as a specialization area has programs that need to be evaluated in readiness for the change process. One such program that needs evaluation is the English language literacy program. The goal of English language literacy program is to improve basic writing, reading, and speaking skills from kindergarten level all the way to grades 3 to 5. The stakeholders involved in the program are early childhood educators, school administrators, district education officers, and parents. The current goals of the program include improving English language proficiency among the learners and advancing writing and reading skills of the learners from kindergarten to fifth grade.
Current Program Data
According to the current Grand City data the number of students in grades 3-5 who do not meet expectations have increased in the last 5 years from 40.3% to 50.7%. The number of students in grades 3-5 who meets or exceeds expectations when it comes to English State test scores declined from 34.4% to 25.7% in the last 5 years. The number of students who nearly meets expectations in State test scores for English language declined from 25.3 to 23.6% in the last 5 years (Walden University, 2016). Other than this category of data, additional data on the number of students who access English reading materials at home need to be looked into. There is also a need to look into the number of families involved in English language development of early childhood learners while at home. Based on the data, it is evident that English language literacy program has not been effective, especially within the last five years. The related data on this that indicate ineffectiveness of the program is that only 13.5% of 11th grade students in Grand City meet or exceed the expectations when it comes to English Language Arts (Walden University, 2016). This is related to the language literacy program at the early childhood education level since language development starts at the early stages of life. Additionally, the performance of students in grades 6-8 in State tests scores for English language arts declined within the last 5 years (Walden University, 2016). These are indications that language and literacy programs in early childhood education are not effective thus the need for change.
Strategies, Activities, or Initiatives to make the Program Effective
While the program has not been effective in the achievement of its goals, there are classroom strategies that are in place to improve its effectiveness. Provision of explicit and systematic kind of instruction in vocabulary ensures that children are exposed to words so as to acquire a prop.

ABSTRACT
Test constructed by the teacher at the class room leve l at the end of a term or end of the year is referred to as school based examination (SBE) student often perform well in the SBE because items are drawn from topic covered by the class teacher. This study is to find out the predictive validity of SBE in relation to NECO and WAEC, SSCE. The population of the study was all (670) senior secondary school in Borno state. Student performance in SBE and WAEC and NECO in English language and history in senior secondary school in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were correlated. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the school. At the time of this study only three school were found to be offering English language but not history) one school in Gwoza zone and two in Maiduguri zone. These three schools were used as samples. The result of the analysis revealed that student’s performance SSCE IN WAEC and SSCE NECO was low but there performance in SBE is high. The student performance is low in English in NECO and WAEC because no student score A or B grade for the three years in school studied. While no student obtained A or B in NECO and WAEC, the student performance in history for the three years show that few student obtained A and B grades the researcher recommend that teacher in senior secondary schools should be made to go for workshops on test construction so that they can construct good test items to match WAEC and NECO standard.
This document presents research on the use of questioning strategies to develop speaking skills for English learners at the B1 level. The researcher observed English lessons at a school to identify the learners' levels and teaching methods used. Questionnaires were used to gather learners' perspectives on speaking lessons and teachers' perspectives on strategies used. The researcher then held lessons using questioning strategies and administered another questionnaire to evaluate the lessons. The goal was to determine how questioning strategies influence B1 learners' speaking abilities and identify the best ways to teach speaking skills to this level.
This newsletter discusses education programs at Ashford University. It highlights a faculty member, Janet Gould, and her experience in education. It also discusses the future of the Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies program. The program chair, Dr. Newton Miller, writes that the program will apply to offer teaching credentials in order to expand employment opportunities for graduates. It aims to launch new programs leading to Multiple Subjects and Single Subject credentials in California by June-August 2016. The newsletter provides an overview of the planned credential programs.
The document discusses strategies for improving fourth grade students' reading comprehension. It analyzes research showing that implementing graphic organizers and differentiated instruction can help engage students and improve test scores. The author proposes using graphic organizers across subjects to help students organize information and focus on quality work. Research cited supports that graphic organizers facilitate critical thinking skills and comprehension. The document concludes that as a committed teacher, the author will use various strategies like graphic organizers to continue improving students' reading skills.
This document introduces the Washington State K-12 Reading Model, which provides a framework to improve reading instruction and increase student achievement in reading. The model is based on five critical elements: Standards, Assessments, Instruction and Intervention, Leadership, and System-wide Commitment. It aims to help all students achieve proficiency in reading based on state standards. The document explains that a systemic approach focusing on these five interrelated elements is more effective than any single reading program. It also outlines the model's focus on grades K-12 and developing students' reading skills to achieve standard.
Place Middle School students are failing to meet state writing standards. Only 26% of 7th graders scored proficient on the writing portion of the state assessment. The needs assessment identifies gaps in the writing curriculum and recommends designing a new curriculum focused on grammar, organization, and providing effective feedback to students to improve their writing skills. Recommendations include using graphic organizers, daily grammar lessons, the 6 Traits writing model, and formative feedback to help students meet state standards.
The document discusses education and the law, specifically the No Child Left Behind Act and closing the achievement gap for students with disabilities. It notes that reading is the foundational skill for all learning and that effective reading instruction and assessment is important. The document discusses short-term and long-term assessments, keys to an effective reading program, and components of two different reading programs used at a school where over 50% of students were reading below grade level.
1) Teachers are responsible for ensuring students meet state standards in core subjects like language arts, math, science, and social studies.
2) In Texas, the TEKS outline the essential knowledge and skills students should master in each grade, including strands for reading, writing, research, listening, speaking, and conventions.
3) When meeting with parents, teachers should be prepared to discuss the student's performance levels based on assessments and how they relate to the grade-level standards.

1)Pages 35-41 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children's Development and Learning outline four general decision-making categories of assessment. Briefly, summarize each of these. Identify when assessment for each category is most likely to be effective.
When simplified teachers use assessment into two categories (1) to use the information to work with their students individually/group and (2) to monitor their progress. To avoid being overwhelmed with information the assessment process follows four general decision-making categories. The first is Assessing to Know Children Individually and as Members of a Group. The one thing that individuals and groups have in common is that they each have their own approaches to what and how they learn. Teachers will have to maneuver working with both and how their attitudes and habits can affect their learning. Knowing the abilities of children individually as well as in a group will help the teacher to aid in their educational development and interest. Assessment will be most effective when a teacher can discern when to assess a child individually and when to asses as a group. In addition a teacher should know the strength of the individual and the group. If an issue is clearly limited to an individual there is no need to assess the whole class. Teachers should also keep in mind what can influence a child's behavior such as the environment, time of day, materials available, and other children.
Another general decision-making category of assessment is Assign Progress Toward Expected Outcomes in Development and Learning. This means that as children progress through their education it is expected that they meet certain requirements. Children are expected to reach certain milestones not only in their growth and development but also in their academic’s studies. To ensure that children are reaching these milestones assessments should be frequent can cover various aspects for them to be the most effective. The third general decision-making categories of assessment are Expected Child Outcomes in Major Development Domains. When assessing student’s teachers should focus on the major domains of child development; physical, social, emotional, and cognitive. Each domain is important to the overall development of growth of a child. For teachers to successfully assess each domain of a child is to record the progress of each, even if it isn't required.
Conclusively Expected Child Outcomes Stated as Standards is the last category of the assessment decision making. Organization in child education from state departments to school districts have written out specific academic and developmental standards for children of every age group. Standards are directed towards content and performance from the general to the specific. In this regard, assessment is most effective when it is flexible and comprehensiv.

The document summarizes key aspects of assessing reading programs and their effectiveness in closing achievement gaps for students with disabilities. It discusses two types of reading program assessments - short-term/periodic assessments and long-term/ongoing assessments. Short-term assessments provide a snapshot of student reading levels but do not allow for ongoing instruction, while long-term assessments allow teachers to instruct the whole student and monitor progress over time. The document also analyzes data from a school that implemented both types of assessments in its reading programs and found that the ongoing assessment program was more effective at increasing the number of students performing at higher reading levels.
This document discusses identification and assessment of English language learners (ELLs) and their needs. It outlines that under No Child Left Behind, schools must demonstrate that ELLs meet academic standards and provide annual English proficiency assessments. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act regulates education of students with disabilities. Accurately identifying ELLs' language proficiency and academic achievement is challenging due to interactions between language and disability. Early identification of at-risk ELLs is important to provide appropriate interventions.

Another general decision-making category of assessment is Assign Progress Toward Expected Outcomes in Development and Learning. This means that as children progress through their education it is expected that they meet certain requirements. Children are expected to reach certain milestones not only in their growth and development but also in their academic’s studies. To ensure that children are reaching these milestones assessments should be frequent can cover various aspects for them to be the most effective. The third general decision-making categories of assessment are Expected Child Outcomes in Major Development Domains. When assessing student’s teachers should focus on the major domains of child development; physical, social, emotional, and cognitive. Each domain is important to the overall development of growth of a child. For teachers to successfully assess each domain of a child is to record the progress of each, even if it isn't required.
Conclusively Expected Child Outcomes Stated as Standards is the last category of the assessment decision making. Organization in child education from state departments to school districts have written out specific academic and developmental standards for children of every age group. Standards are directed towards content and performance from the general to the specific. In this regard, assessment is most effective when it is flexible and comprehensiv.

CARN paper on action research as professional developmentDoctoralNet Limited
This presentation was made to CARN and contains information on the use of action research for professional development for teachers and principals in schools. For more information see: http://www.ar4everything.com
The document summarizes key aspects of assessing reading programs and their effectiveness in closing achievement gaps for students with disabilities. It discusses two types of reading program assessments - short-term/periodic assessments and long-term/ongoing assessments. Short-term assessments provide a snapshot of student reading levels but do not allow for ongoing instruction, while long-term assessments allow teachers to instruct the whole student and monitor progress over time. The document also analyzes data from a school that implemented both types of assessments in its reading programs and found that the ongoing assessment program was more effective at increasing the number of students performing at higher reading levels.
This document discusses identification and assessment of English language learners (ELLs) and their needs. It outlines that under No Child Left Behind, schools must demonstrate that ELLs meet academic standards and provide annual English proficiency assessments. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act regulates education of students with disabilities. Accurately identifying ELLs' language proficiency and academic achievement is challenging due to interactions between language and disability. Early identification of at-risk ELLs is important to provide appropriate interventions.

explain the different roles of basic and applied research
describe the different criteria for success of basic and applied research
explain why government policymakers seem to prefer applied research
describe how basic research reflects liberal democratic values
Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was at the core of the compact between government and science that led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book, Donald Stokes challenges Bush’s view and maintains that we can only rebuild the relationship between government and the scientific community when we understand what is wrong with that view.
Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the “second industrial revolution,” when the relationship between basic science and technological change assumed its modern form. Over subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-based. But science has been increasingly technology-based–with the choice of problems and the conduct of research often inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time of the transistor’s discovery after World War II.
On this revised, interactive view of science and technology, Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new compact between science and government. His conclusions have major implications for both the scientific and policy communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in American democracy.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. reviewing the results of the assessments the Connor Street Early
Childhood Program participated in with the families, staff, and
children. We will also be discussing how to create goals for the
program and providing recommendations on how to implement
those goals. This will also be a great opportunity to ask
questions and discuss your ideas on how you as educators will
implement these ideas into your classrooms.
All About Your Program
● Connor Street serves low-income and working-class families.
● Evaluation data is based of four classrooms of 4-year-olds.
Each class has one teacher and one assistant teacher.
(Walden University, 2022)
Connor Street Early Childhood Program is made up of 20%
Hispanic students, 2 students are Asian, and 3 students are from
the Caribbean. The school serves working-class and low-income
families and as a result all but three of the students in the
program are at school between 7 to 9 hours a day. The
evaluation data is based on four classrooms of 4-year-olds with
one teacher and one assistant teacher.
Strengths: Families
Positive and respectful relationships with staff
Open communication
Rules, expectations, and procedures are clear for parents
Program invites parents into the classroom and to events
Program connects families and community
(Walden University, 2022)
3. When looking at the NAEYC Self-Assessment Family Survey,
there were many survey questions where all 29 families
surveyed acknowledged strengths within the Connor Street
program. This reflects many of the wonderful things you as staff
are doing at Connor Street! Families noted that the staff at
Connor Street were good teachers who cared for their children.
Families said staff had a good relationship with the children and
parents and are good at communicating what is going on at
school and checking in to see how things are going at home.
Families acknowledged that they knew the rules and procedures
of the school and Connor Street’s mission and philosophy.
Families surveyed felt that Connor Street staff actively engaged
with families and the community through events. Lastly,
families felt they were invited into the classrooms to participate
in their child’s learning throughout the year.
Strengths: Staff
Staff feel supported by the program administration.
Strong, positive relationships between staff, families, and the
community
Curriculum is inclusive and supports the needs of all students.
Teachers collaborate.
A variety of assessments are used
Assessments inform future teaching.
Assessments happen regularly and are communicated to parents.
(Walden University, 2022)
4. Some staff members present today may be familiar with the PAS
assessment and what it is used for, but for others, this may be
the first time you are hearing about this assessment. Before we
look at how Connor School scored on the PAS assessment, we
all must understand what PAS is. PAS stands for Program
Administration Scale. It is an assessment completed by program
directors to examine the administration, leadership conditions,
and management of early childhood programs. The assessment
consists of 25 questions, divided into ten subscales. These 25
questions are rated on a scale of one to seven. PAS can be
completed as a self-assessment for progress to see how the
administration is doing. In this case, we are using PAS as an
evaluation for NAEYC accreditation.

Each evaluation is unique in how it is assessed and the results
that are collected. We will be discussing those results today in-
depth and how they have impacted your program. We are
looking forward to defining strengths and areas of focus that the
Connor Street Early Childhood Program can strengthen and
improve upon based on the evaluations conducted.
5. Evaluation 1:Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test:
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-IV) is utilized
to assess children’s language and literacy skills in the area of
receptive vocabulary. The assessment tool is widely known in
early childhood and findings are deemed reliable (Walden
University, 2022).
Receptive Vocabulary: words that children comprehend and
respond to.
Good Morning Connor Street, as mentioned above your program
was evaluated using various assessment tools. The Peabody
Picture Vocabulary Test, 4th Edition or (PPVT-IV) was used to
assess children’s language and literacy skills in the area of
receptive vocabulary. assess children’s language and literacy
skills in the area of receptive vocabulary. The assessment tool is
widely known and deemed reliable (Walden University, 2022).
Evaluation 1: The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, (PPVT-IV)
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, showed that Conner
Street four-year-olds scored in the 62nd percentile as whole.
Additional, data however; shows low scores for both low -
income and Spanish speaking children.
Low-income: 41st percentile, and Spanish-speaking families
scored below the mean of the national sample (Walden
University, 2022).
6. Common trends exist in additional evaluations.

Evaluation 2 : CLASS
Reviews the importance of student-teacher interactions
Supports children’s development and learning
Engaging interactions and environments
Provides instructional support for teachers
(Classroom Assessment Scoring System, 2021)
The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) is an
observation instrument that assesses the quality of teacher -child
interactions in center-based preschool classrooms. CLASS
includes three domains or categories of teacher-child
interactions that support children's learning and development:
Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional
Support. Within each domain are dimensions that capture more
specific details about teachers' interactions with children.
Evaluation 2 : CLASS
Results
Positive Feedback
“Created positive classroom climate”
“Responsive to the children’s needs and abilities”
Classroom organization two teachers rated above 5.0 and one
newest teachers at 3.9
Areas of Focus/Negative Feedback
Two of four teachers rated below 3.0
Dual language correction
8. Small and large group interaction opposed to encouraging
children to speak more
(Walden University, 2022)
The results of the CLASS assessment proved that the teachers
observed create a positive learning environment and built strong
connections with their students. There are positive interactions
across the three domains: emotional support, classroom
organization, and instructional support. Though there were
positive results based on the CLASS observations, there were
also areas of focus in which needed to be improved upon when
working with dual language learners. The other area of focus
was language modeling. One teacher was found to do most of
the talking in small and large groups and not encouraging the
children to talk.
Evaluation 2 : CLASS and TROLL
TROLL - assess skills identified as critical in speaking and
listening
CLASS - evaluates interactions between teachers and their
students
Impact
TROLL results showed that dual language learners had
significantly lower levels of oral interaction than their English
speaking peers
CLASS results showed that one of the teachers corrected low-
income and dual language learners on their English usage
9. (Dickinson, McCabe, & Sprague, 2003)
The CLASS observations have negatively impacted the TROLL
evaluation. This is due to the teacher who was observed to
correct low-income and dual language learners on their English
language, which has proven to stunt language growth. Once
there is better support in working with children on lower oral
and language literacy there will be better results among the
CLASS and TROLL evaluations.
Evaluation 3 : PAS
PAS stands for Program Administration Scale.
Evaluated by the program director
Consists of 25 questions, divided into ten subscales, rated on a
1-7 scale
Measures the administration, management, and leadership
conditions in early childhood programs.
PAS can be used for programs to self-assess or as part of a

ten PAS subscales are human resources development, personnel
cost and allocation, center operations, child assessment, fiscal
management, program planning and evaluation, family
partnerships, marketing and public relations, technology, and
staff qualifications. Now that we know the ten subscales, we
will look at how Connor School scored on the PAS assessment

Evaluation 3 :
PAS Major Findings at Connors Street
Overall, Connor Street scored well on the PAS evaluation.
All but two areas received average or above average ratings.
Subscales that were below average:
Staff Qualifications- Not much progress on PAS was made by
staff in the last three years
Programming and Evaluation- Though staff met for planning,
not much specific and purposeful planning was done over the
last two years.
(Walden University, 2022)
Overall, Connors Street scored well on the PAS evaluation.
Connor Street scored average or above average in all but two
subscales. Connor Street scored below average on two
subscales: staff qualifications and programming and
evaluations. For staff qualifications, the below -average score
was due to the lack of progress teachers made working on their
PAS. For programming and evaluations, the below-average
12. score was due to the lack of time staff had participated in
strategic planning. Connor Street can quickly increase its scores
in both areas by having devoted time for collaborative staff
planning. You, as teachers, know there is never enough time in
the day to talk and collaborate with other teachers and staff. If
time is devoted weekly to allow staff to work on their PAS and
strategically plan with other staff members, these subscales will
increase to average in no time!
Evaluation 4 - NAEYC Accreditation
Correlation between high quality care and positive outcomes for
children!
Supports teachers as they learn to develop research based best
practices for students.
Families can expect to build relationships with teachers and
staff.
Community resources made available.
(National Association for the Education of Young Children,
n.d.)
Congratulations on deciding to go through the NAEYC
Accreditation process! Becoming accredited is the first step to
committing to a high-quality center for both students and
teachers! There are many benefits to accreditation. Children
will benefit from having teachers that are well prepared and
able to offer developmentally appropriate lessons for students
as well as prepare them for school. Teachers can expect to be
supported through research and best practices as well as support
from other programs that have gone through the accreditation
13. process. Families will also benefit as they build relationships
with teachers and staff and use resources offered through the
program and the community.
Evaluation 4 NAEYC Accreditation Standards
(National Association for the Education of Young Children,
n.d.)
NAEYC Accreditation process uses ten standards that when put
together provides a high-level of quality care for children birth
through kindergarten. The first set of standards is geared toward
children in the program and is comprised of assessment of child
progress, curriculum, health, relationships, and teaching. The
next set of standards reflects on teacher practices, relationships
with families and the community, and finally administration.
The standards focusing on administration concentrate on
physical environment, leadership, and management. The
program will complete a self-survey where they assess and
document evidence of meeting high-quality standards. This
includes surveys completed by both teachers, staff, and
families. Once the self-study is complete the program will
invite an accreditation site visit. Data taken from both the si te
visit and the submitted portfolio will be evaluated and an
accreditation decision report will be sent within three months of
the site visit.
Evaluation 5 - NAEYC Accreditation Decision Report
(Walden University, 2022)
14. Connor Streets Evaluation 5 was the NAEYC Accreditation
Decision Report regarding the standard relating to families.
Connor Street scored a 93%. In order for Connor Street to meet
this standard they would have to create a program that includes
reciprocal relationships with families. This means that families
need to be treated like partners in the school where they help
make decisions and they feel their voices are heard. Based on
the NAEYC Self-Assessment Family Survey, 41% of families
said the teacher and program work with them to meet their
child’s individual or special needs and help get other resources
with the community. 21% of families said no they did not feel
like they receive support or resources to meet their child’s
needs. The other 38% found the question to not apply to them.
The NAEYC Accreditation Decision Report suggests an area for
Improvement is to have resources available and ability to help
families obtain services which are needed for the child and
family to thrive.
Comparisons and Trends
TROLL & Peabody Picture Test both found Dual Language
Learners need more support on oral language and literacy skills.
PAS & CLASS both find that Connor Street’s leadership and
classroom environments can be improved.
NAEYC Teacher Self-Assessment reflects the need for
professional development.
NAEYC Family Self-Assessment reflects the need for more
resources and individual student support.
(Walden University, 2022)
15. After reviewing the different evaluations conducted by Connor
Street, the recurring trends that stick out to us based on the
TROLL & Peabody Picture Test, are that both oral language and
literacy needs to improve, especially for Dual Language
Learners (DLL). The PAS and the CLASS evaluations indicate
that leadership and management are not supporting teacher
professional development which is reflected on the CLASS
evaluation where two out of the four classes scored below a 3.0
which is what is needed to foster an environment that promotes
language and literacy. The NAEYC Family Self-Assessment
also reflects that families are not receiving the necessary
resources to meet individual student needs. Families surveyed
indicated that community resources are not made available.
Program Recommendations
Program Recommendations for Conner Street are:
Identify strategies to implement home language into the
classroom through, culture text, environmental print, songs, or
other methods to enrich language and literacy for dual-language
learners.
Develop professional development opportunities for staff to
become bilingual in the program’s majority language.
Adhere, to recommendations and meet monthly to discussion
professional development progress. Follow through, was found
to be an issue for Conner Street.

Introduction
Data has been an integral part of our education system for
decades. As professionals we use it as a tool to drive
instruction primarily. However, on a larger scale, data runs the
educational process through progress, success, and achievement.
Furthermore, program evaluations are a vital tool that provide
this important data that not only ensures program success but
the overall development of every child (Saracho, 2015).

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Fourth Edition (PPVT™-
4) is the outstanding vocabulary assessment unsurpassed for
nearly a half century.
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Fourth Edition (PPVT-
IV), measures listening and understanding of single-word
vocabulary .
It was developed for individuals 2 years 6 months old through
greater than 90 years old.
This brief test provides an approximate estimate of intelligence
by measuring receptive vocabulary and replaces the
original Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) published in
1959 (Dunn & Dunn, 1981).
The 1981 version retains many of its predecessor’s best
features: it consists of two equivalent forms, allows for a verbal
or nonverbal response, and is untimed.

The Teacher Rating of Oral Language and Literacy (TROLL) is
an instrument that measures skills identified as critical in the
New Standards for Speaking and Listening.
Teachers can assess an individual child's current standing with
respect to skills that research has identified as critical for
literary acquisition.
TROLL has been used with over 900 low-income children. The
instrument is reliable and has strong internal consistency. Its
validity has been established in numerous ways.
TROLL correlates significantly with scores on the Peabody
Picture Vocabulary Test and the Early Phonemic Awareness
Profile given to the same children by trained researchers.

Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) is an
observation instrument which considers three categories, or
domains, that support a child’s learning and development.
The three umbrella domains are Emotional Support, Classroom
Organization, and Instructional Support.
The interactions between a teacher and a child are vital to a
child’s learning and development. Research and developmental
theory indicates that these interactions in early childhood
classrooms, along with the overall learning environment, is
foundational to learning.
The quality of teacher-child interactions is assessed using the
Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS).

The Program Administration Scale or PAS is an evaluation tool
that is given to assess leadership manageme nt for early
childhood education programs. There are several indicators
included within the four subscales seen here in the graph.
Program Self-Improvement, technical assistance and
monitoring, research and evaluation, and public awareness
encompass the areas of concern within this tool. For Connor
Street an overall positive rating is observed. However, there
are areas of below average rating which need improvement.
Teacher support and instruction should be a concern, while also
strategically planning more effectively.
