The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) is offering the Enhanced Assessment Instruments Grant program (EAG). This grant is for States to enhance the quality of assessment instruments and systems used for measuring the academic achievement of elementary and secondary school students. For this specific competition, the program focuses on supporting the development or enhancement of a kindergarten entry assessment (KEA). The KEA must be meticulously aligned with the State’s early learning and development standards and comprehensively cover all essential domains of school readiness. Priority will be extended to early learning collaborative efforts among States to foster shared development. This initiative aims to bolster the foundational assessment tools crucial for understanding young students’ academic preparedness.
