Elementary School Developmental Profile
BP 6146.60
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DEVELOPMENTAL PROFILE
| Note: Beginning in 2000, each school district must submit to the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development a developmental profile for each student entering kindergarten or first grade in each school in the district, including charter schools. A student whose profile is submitted upon entering kindergarten does not need an additional profile upon entering first grade. The profile should be completed on a form provided by the Department and must be submitted to the Department by November 1 of each year. |
The Board believes that student assessment is one of the tools that may be considered in determining the best educational choices for a student, and that assessment at an early age may be especially beneficial. The Superintendent or designee shall administer to each incoming kindergarten and first grade student a developmental profile which contains indicators of the student’s physical well-being and motor development; language and literacy development; personal-social development; thinking and cognitive development; and child background. Child background includes factors affecting a child’s school performance such as pre-school experience, whether the child has an individualized education program, and health data.
At the discretion of the Superintendent, a child completing a profile upon entry to kindergarten may not be required to complete an additional profile upon entering first grade.
