  4. Principles of Kindergarten Readiness Assessments* • No high stakes • Traits are not easily quantifiable • Strong preferences for criterion-referenced, observational (children performing tasks that are part of their daily experiences) assessment in naturalistic settings repeated across time • Multiple domains (measures of child development across at least 5 domains) • Teachers should be used as assessors *from Developing and Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Statewide Kindergarten Readiness presentation, Samuel Meisels, President Erikson Institute, Student Assessment Conference, June 2012
