ISTAR-KR ASSIGNMENT

1. What do the letters NCLB stand for?


 No Child Left Behind Act
2. What do the letters DOE stand for?
 Department of Education
3. What do the letters ISTAR-KR stand for?
 Indiana Standards Tool for Alternate Reporting of Kindergarten Readiness
4. What ages is ISTAR-KR for?
 From infancy to kindergarten
5. Is the ISTAR-KR only for children with special needs?
 It is used for special needs students mainly and can be used for children in PreK through
first
6. In your opinion, which matrices would you start with and why?
 I would start with demonstrates awareness of sounds because I think that most of the
things described can be done by a 1-year old child and it is a good basis to see if they are
able to move on to harder things.
7. In what kind of setting could you do your assessment?
 The assessment could really be done anywhere but I personally would do it in a one on
one setting where you are able to focus solely on the child involved.
8. As you look over the other matrices, do you think they would all be necessary to get a
complete “picture” of what this child knows and can do right now? Why?
 I think that all of the things mention in the matrices would help to determine what the
child is able to do because they not only show what they should be able to do by a
certain age, but also give you an idea of what they should be able to do in future years.
9. Do you think a parent would be able to use this assessment with their child?
 I think that this could be very helpful for a parent. After looking over it, I started to
assess my son and found the information to be right on track for him.
10. Let’s imagine you want to know more about a child who has special needs. What
assessment would you use? Provide three or more reasons for your choice.
 I would use the matrices comprehends details, events and main ideas when accessing a
child with special needs because I believe that it is a good base knowledge about what
they know. It also gives a good idea about what they can do and how far they are behind
or above average.
