Ready for Kindergarten: ELA

This app has been created for early childhood educators in Maryland and Ohio for use in administering the Early Learning Assessment (ELA).

The ELA is an early learning tool that allows teachers to measure each child’s growth and development across multiple domains multiple times throughout the year. It allows early childhood teachers and care-providers to collect and use assessment information to tailor instruction to the individual needs of each child. It is intended for educational purposes and is password protected for use only by teachers and providers administering the ELA in those states.

The Early Learning Assessment has been developed by a consortium including the Maryland State Department of Education, the Ohio Department of Education, the Johns Hopkins University School of Education Center for Technology in Education, and WestEd.
