How Vine Assessments are Used

The Vine Assessments are a series of developmentally appropriate early childhood assessments from birth through Pre-Kindergarten. These early childhood assessments are categorized as “Observational, Formative Assessments,” as follows:

  • Observational = teachers complete the Vine Assessments on their students based on what they have observed in their interactions with the children. The students do not complete any portion of the Vine Assessments themselves.
  • Formative = teachers can use results from the Vine Assessments as they prepare Lesson Plans. Teachers can plan activities specifically intended to work on areas that the children have not yet scored as ‘Achieved‘.
