MMSR FrameworkDefines what children should know and be
able to do by the end of kindergarten. It encompasses:
Maryland’s definition of school readiness Learning standards, indicators, and
objectives for kindergarten, prekindergarten, and preschool three-year-olds
A systematic assessment method that is aligned with the State Curriculum and supports classroom instruction

MMSR School Readiness Definition
• The state of early development that enables an individual child to engage in and benefit from early learning experiences.
• As a result of family nurturing and interactions with others, a young child in this stage has reached certain levels of social and emotional development, cognition and general knowledge, language development, and physical well-being and motor development.
• School readiness acknowledges individual approaches toward learning as well as the unique experiences and backgrounds of each child.

Purposes of Evaluation and Assessment
• Eligibility determination• Individualized results-
oriented decision making for individual children and families
• Accountability for federal, State and local requirements

Features of Authentic Performance Assessment
• Keeps track of individual student achievement
• Based on actual examples of activities in classrooms and natural environments
• Provides ongoing information from multiple points in time
22

On-Demand Assessment
• Students perform tasks when asked
• Tasks may or may not be familiar to the student
23
![Page 24: The Maryland Model for School Readiness for Preschool a statewide collaborative approach to promote school readiness through professional development 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649db05503460f94a9df22/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Curriculum-Embedded Assessments
• Assessment occurs in the context of classroom, childcare, or activities in the home
• Student’s routine performances are the “data” for the assessment
24

Maryland’s Approach
The intent of MMSR is the use of developmentally appropriate practices with all children
MMSR promotes a common language among early childhood general and special educators by enabling a view of children through a shared lens.
MMSR is a developmental frame of reference for aligning IEP goals with the State Learning Standards/State Curriculum (SC).
![Page 43: The Maryland Model for School Readiness for Preschool a statewide collaborative approach to promote school readiness through professional development 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649db05503460f94a9df22/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
