New Entrant Screening and the COMET® Solution
If your state law requires that your school district provides a screening program for new entrants to assess: vision; motor skills; social, emotional, and behavioral functioning; cognitive function; and language development…
Meet Your Screening Requirements:
- Screen children using nationally normed instruments
- Collect and organize screening information into comprehensive student profiles
- Generate meaningful reports to make individualized educational decisions
- Use individualized reports to monitor student progress
- Use aggregate reports to understand the overall composition and needs of incoming students
- Systematically obtain inclusive indicators of school success or failure from the parent’s perspective
Solution:
Children’s Institute offers screening tools which can be completed on the COMET® Data Collection and Management System, to satisfy school entry screening requirements and much more. Using the nationally normed, 32 item Teacher Child Rating Scale 2.1 (TCRS), educators will get information about student task orientation, behavior control, peer social skills, and cognitive ability that helps them with student placement and grouping decisions. Demographics, risk indicators, and life experiences are captured in the Parent Appraisal of Children’s Experiences 2.1 (PACE), which is completed by parents of incoming students.
By using our assessments with the COMET® System, schools can gain information about individual students and the overall population of incoming students.
If you are satisfied with your school’s current screening instruments but need assistance managing and using data, the COMET® System can help. Any instrument and screening tool can be uploaded, giving educators a centralized system of usable information to help children succeed.
