T F A R Welcome to the Desired Results Developmental Profile (2015) [DRDP (2015)]: A Developmental Continuum from Early Infancy to Kindergarten Entry. The DRDP (2015) is formative assessment instrument developed by the California Department of Education for young children and their families to be used to inform instruction and program development. The DRDP (2015) is based on the previous DRDP instruments. It includes refinements made over the past several years and new elements that are essential to quality early childhood education. It aligns with the California Department of Education’s Early Learning and Development Foundations. Key Features of the DRDP (2015): • The DRDP (2015) is administered through observation in natural settings through teacher observations, family observations, and examples of children’s work. Ongoing documentation of children’s knowledge and skills in everyday environments is a recommended practice for early childhood assessment. • The DRDP (2015) replaces the DRDP-Infant/Toddler© (2010), the DRDPPreschool© (2010), and the DRDP access assessment instruments. D • The DRDP (2015) represents a full continuum of development for use with all children from early infancy up to kindergarten entry, including children with Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). • The DRDP (2015) is aligned with all volumes of the California’s Infant/ Toddler and Preschool Learning and Development Foundations, the Common Core Standards, and the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework. • The DRDP (2015) takes into consideration the specific cultural and linguistic characteristics of California’s diverse population of young children, with specific consideration for children who are young dual language learners (see section below). • The DRDP (2015) was developed with the goal of ensuring that all children have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. To enable access to the assessment for diverse populations, the principles of universal design were followed. • The DRDP (2015) includes domains that meet the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) child outcome reporting requirements for children with individualized family service plans (IFSPs) or individualized education programs (IEPs). Young Dual Language Learners and the DRDP (2015) Dual language learners are children learning two or more languages at the same time, as well as those learning a second language while continuing to develop their first (or home) language. A child’s experience with one or more languages is an asset to build on in the early childhood setting. It is critical to consider the child’s communication in all the languages that he or she is learning to have an accurate picture of a child’s knowledge and skills. Young children, including children with disabilities, can successfully learn two or more languages. Learning two or more languages has linguistic, social, cognitive, academic, and cultural benefits. The path to learning one language shares many similarities with the path to learning two or more languages. There are also differences that must be taken into consideration when assessing young children who are dual language learners. Children may have vocabulary for concepts in one language and vocabulary for other concepts in another language. So it is important to assess children in all of the languages he or she understands and uses. The DRDP (2015) addresses cultural and linguistic responsiveness in two primary ways: 1. Assessors observe and document children’s behavior in both the home language and English to obtain a more accurate profile of the children’s knowledge and skills across developmental domains. 2. Assessors rate children’s progress on two language development domains. The Language and Literacy Development (LLD) domain assesses all children’s progress in developing foundational language and literacy skills where ratings should be based on skills in all languages. The English-Language Development (ELD) domain assesses current knowledge and skills and progress in learning to communicate in English. Universal Design and the DRDP (2015) In the context of assessment, “Universal Design” refers to the development of assessments that are appropriate for all children to the greatest extent possible. Universal Design allows children the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a variety of ways. All young children are entitled access to, and meaningful participation in, ageappropriate, individually-appropriate and culturally-appropriate early childhood curricula and assessments. Teachers and service providers support children’s access and participation by identifying and providing learning opportunities, materials, and teaching strategies in flexible and individualized ways and through a variety of learning modalities. DRDP (2015) assessors apply universal design when they carefully consider the various ways young children can demonstrate knowledge or skills that reflect mastery of a developmental level.

Adaptations that are in place for the child during the normal course of the day should also be in place during observations for the DRDP (2015). New adaptations should not be introduced solely for the purpose of conducting an assessment. Seven broad categories of adaptations are used with the DRDP (2015). The DRDP (2015) is made up of eight domains. The focus of each domain is on the acquisition of knowledge, skills, or behaviors that reflect each domain’s developmental constructs. T F A R About the Measures of the DRDP (2015) The levels for each DRDP (2015) measure describe a developmental continuum, ranging from earlier developing to later developing competencies. The DRDP (2015) includes three types of continua: • Full Continuum Measures:  describe development from early infancy up to kindergarten entry. These measures should be used with all infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children. • Earlier Development Measures:  describe development that typically occurs from early infancy through early preschool ages. These measures should be used with all infants and toddlers and with preschool-age children under specific conditions. • Later Development Measures:  describe development that typically occurs from early preschool ages up to kindergarten entry. These measures should be used with all preschool-age children. D Use of Conditional Measures The Eight Domains of the DRDP (2015) Some measures in the DRDP Preschool View are considered conditional measures that are assessed when certain conditions are met. These measures should be used if they assist teachers and service providers in planning a child’s learning activities and supports, and documenting progress. • If conditional measures are assessed, supporting observational data are required for children in EESD programs. If conditional measures are not assessed, no supporting observational data are required. • Supporting observational data are not required for data submission for children receiving early intervention or special education preschool services. Approaches to Learning- Self-Regulation (ATL-REG)  The ATL-REG domain assesses two related developmental domains that are recognized as important for young children’s school readiness and success: Approaches to Learning and Self-Regulation. These areas have been combined into one domain because of the strong connections between them.. The Approaches to Learning skills include attention maintenance, engagement and persistence, and curiosity and initiative. The Self-Regulation skills include self-comforting, self-control of feelings and behavior, imitation, and shared use of space and materials. Social and Emotional Development (SED)  The SED domain assesses children’s developing abilities to understand and interact with others and to form positive relationships with nurturing adults and their peers. The knowledge or skill areas in this domain include identity of self in relation to others, social and emotional understanding, relationships and social interactions with familiar adults, relationships and interactions with peers, and symbolic and socio-dramatic play. Language and Literacy Development (LLD)  The LLD domain assesses the progress of all children in developing foundational language and literacy skills. These skills can be demonstrated in any language and in any mode of communication. The LLD measures should be completed for all infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children, including those who are dual language learners. Language and literacy skills in a child’s first language form the foundation for learning English. Therefore, dual language learners may demonstrate knowledge and skills in their home language, in English, or in both languages. LLD measures should be completed for all infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children, including those who are dual language learners. English-Language Development (ELD)  The ELD domain assesses preschool-age dual language learners’ progress in learning to communicate in English. The developmental progression described in the four ELD measures is related to the child’s experiences with English, not the child’s age. Keep in mind that children acquire English in different ways and at different rates. Factors that affect English acquisition include degree of exposure to English, level of support provided in their home language, and the child’s motivation to learn English. The ELD measures should be completed only for preschool-age children whose home language is other than English. Cognition, Including Math and Science (COG)  The COG domain focuses on observation, exploration of people and objects, and investigation of objects and concepts. The knowledge or skill areas in this domain include spatial relationships, , cause and effect, classification, number sense of quantity, number sense of math operations, measurement, patterning, shapes, inquiry through observation and investigation, documentation and communication of inquiry, and knowledge of the natural world. Physical Development-Health (PD-HLTH)  The PD-HLTH domain assesses motor development and the development of routines related to personal care, safety, and nutrition. The knowledge or skill areas in this domain include perceptual-motor skills and movement concepts, gross locomotor movement skills, gross motor manipulative skills, fine motor manipulative skills, active physical play, nutrition, safety, and personal care routines (hygiene, self-feeding, dressing). History-Social Science (HSS)  The HSS domain focuses on learning about the expectations of social situations, how to participate within a group, and the relationship between people and the environment in which they live. The knowledge or skill areas in this domain include sense of time, sense of place, ecology, conflict negotiation, and responsible conduct. Visual and Performing Arts (VPA)  The VPA domain focuses on awareness and engagement in four areas of artistic expression. The knowledge or skill areas in this domain include visual art, music, drama, and dance.

The levels are organized under four categories from early infancy up to kindergarten entry: responding, exploring, building, and integrating: Responding (Earlier, Later)  Knowledge, skills, or behaviors that develop from basic responses (through using senses and through actions) to differentiated responses. Children generally engage in back-and-forth interactions with familiar adults and communicate through nonverbal messages. Exploring (Earlier, Middle, Later)  Knowledge, Knowledge, skills, or behaviors that include active exploration including purposeful movement, purposeful exploration and manipulation of objects, purposeful communication, and the beginnings of cooperation with adults and peers. Children generally begin this period by using nonverbal means to communicate and, over time, grow in their ability to communicate verbally or use other conventional forms of language. Building (Earlier, Middle, Later)  Knowledge, skills, or behaviors that demonstrate a growing understanding of how people and objects relate to one another, how to investigate ideas, and how things work. Children use language to express thoughts and feelings, to learn specific early literacy and numeracy skills, and to increasingly participate in small group interactions and cooperative activities with others. Integrating (Earlier)  Knowledge, skills, or behaviors that demonstrate the ability to connect and combine strategies in order to express complex thoughts and feelings, solve multi-step problems, and participate in a wide range of activities that involve social-emotional, self-regulatory, cognitive, linguistic, and physical skills. Children begin to engage in mutually supportive relationships and interactions. Be sure to note that the developmental levels for the ELD domain differ from the above format as they represent the developmental progression for the acquisition of English as a second language during the early childhood years.

To capture a child’s behavior, the DRDP (2015) incorporates observation in natural settings. While observing and collecting documentation, remember that words, phrases, and sentences can be communicated and understood in a variety of ways, including in the child’s home language, signed, and through other communication modes (e.g., via a communication device). Teachers and service providers direct observations of a child are the primary method used to inform ratings and should also use other sources of evidence to capture a more complete picture of a child’s knowledge and skills: teachers’ and service providers’ observations, provide a more complete and reliable picture of a child’s typical behaviors Inviting family members to share observations of their child’s development and behavior is a recommended practice for the DRDP (2015). The opportunity to observe a child’s level of mastery is greatest when the child is interacting with a familiar adult. Because of this, it is helpful to observe children interacting with family members. This is especially true for children who are new to a program or at the earliest levels (Responding Earlier and Responding Later). These observations can inform assessment decisions for all domains. They are particularly important for the SED and LLD domains since social interaction and communication skills are learned through repeated interactions with familiar adults. Observations should occur over time, in typical settings: • Observations by others – including teachers, family members/caregivers, and other service providers or caregivers, obtained through interview or conversations • In the child’s typical program or settings such as child care, classrooms, or home; • As the child interacts in familiar environments and routines with people he or she knows; and • As the child engages in typical activities and routines. • Other documentation – including samples of children’s work, photographs, and video/ audio recordings of children’s communication and behavior D The Important Role of Families in the Documentation Process Family members have many opportunities to observe their child’s activities, interactions, and learning over time and in a range of situations. Their perspectives, combined with teachers’ and service providers’ observations, provide a more complete and reliable picture of a child’s typical behaviors Inviting family members to share observations of their child’s development and behavior is a recommended practice for the DRDP (2015). The opportunity to observe a child’s level of mastery is greatest when the child is interacting with a familiar adult. Because of this, it is helpful to observe children interacting with family members. This is especially true for children who are new to a program or at the earliest levels (Responding Earlier and Responding Later). These observations can inform assessment decisions for all domains. They are particularly important for the SED and LLD domains since social interaction and communication skills are learned through repeated interactions with familiar adults. Code Switching is a strategy used by children learning more than one language: Dual Language Learners’ Use of Code Switching • Code switching is the use of multiple languages within a single conversation. It is a typical feature of learning two or more languages. • As early as three years of age, children code switch to playfully experiment with the two languages and to serve their own social and communication goals. For example, children may code switch to emphasize or elaborate a point. • Children might code switch when speaking with one person, or may use one language exclusively with one person and another language with another person. • When children mix their two languages they use the grammatical rules of each language. For example, “I want leche” [“I want milk” in English] is an example of inserting a Spanish noun into a grammatically correct English sentence. Using Adaptations Adaptations are changes in the environment or differences in observed behavior that allow children with IFSPs or IEPs to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in typical environments. Seven broad categories of adaptations have been identified for children with IFSPs and IEPs for the DRDP (2015). • The adaptations listed in the table below have been developed so that the assessment will more accurately measure a child’s abilities rather than the impact of a child’s disability .(A more detailed description of the adaptations appears in Appendix). Adaptations must be in place for the child during the normal course of the day, and should also be in place during observations for the DRDP (2015). Everyone working with the child should be informed of any adaptations the child uses. • New adaptations must not be introduced solely for the purpose of conducting the DRDP (2015) assessment. Observation and Documentation for Young Dual Language Learners • Considerations for adaptations need to be made on a regular basis from early infancy and as the child grows and develops. Family members have many opportunities to observe their child’s activities, interactions, and learning over time and in a range of situations. Their perspectives, combined with • New adaptations must not be introduced solely for the purpose of conducting a DRDP (2015) assessment.

Alternative Mode for Written Language Methods of reading or writing used by a child who cannot see well enough to read or write or cannot hold and manipulate a writing utensil (e.g., pencil, pen) well enough to produce written symbols. Visual Support Assistive Equipment or Device Tools that make it possible or easier for a child to perform a task. D Strategic positioning and postural support that allow a child to have increased control of his body. Sensory Support For each of the measures, determine the latest developmental level the child has mastered, and mark it appropriately. The Descriptors and Examples Consider the descriptors first, and then the examples to determine which developmental level is most consistent with your observations and other documentation of the child’s typical behavior. A child may demonstrate behaviors at more than one developmental level. Choose the level that most closely represents the knowledge, skills, or behaviors the child demonstrates most consistently. Descriptors: Adjustments to the environment that provide additional information to a child who has limited or reduced visual input. Functional Positioning Determining the Child’s Latest Level of Mastery Increasing or decreasing sensory input to facilitate a child’s attention and interaction in the environment. Alternative Response Mode Recognition that a child might demonstrate mastery of a skill in a unique way that differs from the child’s typically developing peers. The descriptors define the knowledge, skills, or behaviors expected at each level along the developmental continuum of the measure (see Navigation Map). Each descriptor is illustrated by several examples of behaviors that are consistent with that developmental level. Most of the descriptors define discrete knowledge, skills, or behaviors. However, some include more than one behavior or skill, separated by “or” or a semicolon (;). What is Mastery? A developmental level is mastered if the child demonstrates the knowledge, behaviors, and skills defined at that level: Æ  Consistently over time Æ  In different situations or settings Important notes about mastery: • Children may demonstrate mastery of knowledge and skills through a variety of communication modes, languages, and behaviors. • Many of the behaviors that you observe in determining a child’s mastery level may not appear on the list of examples, although they are consistent with the descriptor. If the descriptor says “or”: • The child only needs to demonstrate the behavior in one of the listed ways to demonstrate mastery for the developmental level. Either part of the descriptor may be observed to rate mastery at that level. For example, descriptor for Exploring Later in the LLD 5: Interest in Literacy measure: Looks at books on own briefly or Chooses to join reading, singing, or rhyming activities led by an adult If the child EITHER looks at books on own briefly OR chooses to join reading, singing, or rhyming activities led by an adult, mastery can be rated at this level. If a descriptor includes “and”: • All parts of the descriptor are required for mastery and need to be observed together. If a descriptor includes a semi-colon (;) followed by “and”: • The child must demonstrate all the behaviors listed to rate the level as mastered, but not necessarily during the same observation within a DRDP rating period. For example, descriptor for Exploring Later in the LLD 5: Interest in Literacy measure: Initiates activities with familiar adults; and Seeks out assistance or support from familiar adults To be rated as mastered at this level, the child must BOTH initiate activities with familiar adults AND seek out assistance or support from familiar adults, although the assessor does not have to observe both behaviors during the same observation within a DRDP rating period.

If your observations indicate that the child has demonstrated mastery for a developmental level and is also beginning to demonstrate knowledge, skills, or behaviors described for the next level (although not yet consistently across situations or settings), the child may be emerging to the next level. T F A R Examples: Important Points about Examples: • The examples are not a checklist of what the child must demonstrate to be rated at mastery of the knowledge, skills, or behaviors that reflect a developmental level. To indicate emerging: • First, mark the developmental level the child has mastered. • Then, mark “emerging” if the child also demonstrates behaviors described for the next developmental level. • Mastery is determined over time and across situations or settings. Child is Not Yet at the Earliest Developmental Level on this Measure: If, after careful consideration, you determine that a preschool-age child is not yet demonstrating mastery of the earliest level of a later development measure, mark “Not yet at the earliest developmental level” and provide the reason in the text box at the bottom of the measure page. • A child may not demonstrate any of the specific examples provided for a developmental level, but may demonstrate mastery in other ways that are consistent with the intent of the descriptor. Child is Beyond the Latest Developmental Level on this Measure: If a preschool-age child has mastered a later level than is shown on an earlier development measure, mark, “Child is beyond the latest developmental level.” • Children demonstrate mastery in diverse and sometimes unique ways. Unable to Rate due to extended absence: • An example is one of many possible ways a child might demonstrate mastery of a developmental level. and service providers will identify other examples as they conduct their observations. • Unable to Rate should rarely, if ever, be used • Examples have not been written to include all areas of disability. Universal design is intended to support the inclusion of children with disabilities on the DRDP (2015). However, it is important to review the adaptations as well as understand the construct being measured when assessing children with disabilities. D Additional Rating Options: Emerging to the Next Developmental Level: Notes about Emerging: • You may mark “emerging” when rating full-continuum measures with infants and toddlers if the child has mastered the last level that can be rated and the child demonstrates some behaviors in the level that follows. • Do not mark “emerging” if the child has mastered the last level on a measure or if the child does not yet demonstrate mastery of the earliest level. • Marking that the child is emerging to the next level does not affect the rating of mastery for the measure. • The only reason to use Unable to Rate is when the child is absent from the program for such an extended period of time during the four to six weeks prior to submitting your DRDP data that you could not gather information to rate the measures. • The following are NOT valid reasons to indicate Unable to Rate: • Not having enough time or enough information • The nature of a child’s disability or the severity of a child’s disability The Responding Earlier level is designed to be inclusive of all children. Mark this earliest level unless the child demonstrates skills at a later level. • Do not use Unable to Rate because you feel a child does not demonstrate the skills for the earliest level. Æ Step 3: Finalize the Assessment To finalize, simply review the assessment to make sure that you have entered a rating for all of the measures and that the Information Page is complete and up-to-date: • For EESD programs: enters your ratings into DRDPtech. • For SED programs: enter your ratings into your MIS system for your SELPA’s CASEMIS submission. Check with your administrator for when and to whom your Rating Records are due.

(2015) 1.  Review your documentation/evidence. Review your own observation notes, observations from others (including teachers, family members/caregivers, and other service providers or caregivers, obtained through interview or conversations), and other documentation, including samples of children’s work, photographs, and video/audio recordings of children’s communication and behavior. 2.  Carefully read the definition and the descriptors, looking for mastery. Read the descriptors before you read the examples. As you read the descriptors, try to narrow down which one is most consistent with your observations and other documentation of the child’s typical behavior. A developmental level is mastered if the child demonstrates the knowledge, behaviors, and skills defined at that level: Æ  Consistently over time Æ  In different situations or settings D Important Note:  When reading the descriptors, be sure you understand and pay attention to semicolons and the words “or” and “and.” Most descriptors define a single skill or behavior, but some include more than one. If the descriptor includes: 3.  After you read the descriptors, consider the examples. The examples represent only some of the possible ways a child might demonstrate mastery. They are not a checklist of what the child must demonstrate. It is possible that a child does not demonstrate any of the specific examples provided, but does demonstrate mastery in other ways that are consistent with the intent of the descriptor. 4.  Based on your careful reading of the descriptors and examples and a review of your documentation, determine the child’s level of mastery. Once you’ve determined the latest developmental level the child has mastered, mark it appropriately. 5.  Indicate if the child is emerging to the next level (when the option to mark emerging is available). If your observations indicate that the child has demonstrated mastery for a developmental level and is also beginning to demonstrate knowledge, skills, or behaviors described for the next level (although not yet consistently across situations or settings), the child may be emerging to the next level. • A semi-colon (;) followed by the word “and,” the child must demonstrate all the behaviors listed to master the level, but not necessarily during the same observation. • The word “or,” the child only needs to demonstrate the behavior in one of the ways listed for the developmental level to be considered mastered.
