In addition to Acadience Reading, Kindergarten students are expected to take the KEEP assessment at the beginning of the year and the end of the year.
Utah’s Kindergarten Entry and Exit Profle (KEEP) is intended to inform various stakeholders, such as parents, teachers, and leadership, on the academic and social-emotional development of entering and exiting kindergarten students. The information gained from the profle will be used to:
- Provide insights into current levels of academic and social-emotional performance upon entry and exit of kindergarten.
- Identify students in need of early intervention instruction and promote diferentiated instruction for all students.
- Analyze the efectiveness of programs, such as extended-day kindergarten and preschool.
- Provide opportunities for data-informed decision-making and cost-beneft analysis of early learning initiatives.
- Identify efective instructional practices or strategies for improving student achievement outcomes in a targeted manner. Understand the infuence and impact of full-day kindergarten on at-risk students in both the short- and long-term.
This assessment will be completed in Zoom. For more information on the KEEP assessment click HERE
