Description

The NYS-MEP continues to use the same questions and student response forms from last year. The ECA Guidance Document has small updates, including

• The revised Measurable Performance Objective for Early Childhood and 
• Clarification about how to record the assessment date when two or more sessions are needed to complete the pre- or post-test.

This refresher workshop reviews the resources needed to administer the ECA; highlights early childhood resources found on the NYS-MEP website; and clarifies how to record the assessment date when two or more sessions are needed to complete the assessment. 

The content in this presentation is geared towards serving the migrant populations in New York State as defined under Title I, Part C and the approved State Service Delivery Plan, and may NOT be appropriate to all situations.
