Standard 1302.102

Annual self-assessment

The three data streams the standard names, in one view: aggregated child assessment, professional development, and family engagement, each evaluated against progress toward the school readiness goals.

45 CFR 1302.102(b)(2) · (c)(2)
The requirement. At least once a program year, a program must conduct a self-assessment of its progress toward the school readiness goals using aggregated child assessment data, professional development data, and family engagement data. The self-assessment must be shared with the governing body and the Policy Council and reported to the responsible official. Most programs can produce the child assessment piece and struggle to produce the other two in the same frame.

Two goals read from the Cognitive area with different targets, so the Cognitive column appears once with the stricter of the two shown. The goal-by-goal table is on the school readiness page.

Aggregated separately by age band and restricted to children with a finalized checkpoint at all three points. Subgroup results below ten children are suppressed.

Stream two — professional development data

Did coaching reach the classrooms that needed it?

coaching cycles by observation band

The self-assessment question is not how much professional development was delivered but whether it reached the classrooms that needed it. The lowest-scoring band received the most coaching, which is the pattern a reviewer expects to see.

Stream three — family engagement data

Family services and engagement

items C.34 to C.46
Total families C.34441
Families receiving at least one program service C.45441 100%
Involvement in discussing the child's screening and assessment results C.44.j398 90%
Support for transitions between programs C.44.k260 59%
Research-based parenting curriculum C.44.i412 93%
Emergency or crisis intervention C.44.a287 65%
Housing assistance C.44.b99 22%
Mental health services C.44.d164 37%

The standard ties family engagement to school readiness progress specifically through the item on discussing a child's assessment results, which is why that item is broken out by center beside this.

Sunrise fall below 80%, which is a self-assessment finding rather than a data problem.

Seventeen items, 13 of them producible from the connected systems today. The 2 partial items are the ones a program has to write rather than query: an alignment document and a set of professional development plans. Knowing which is which before the review window opens is most of the work.

The self-assessment is scheduled for the Policy Council on May 12, 2026 and the governing board on May 28, 2026. Both bodies read the same figures as this page, computed from the same records, so a question asked in one meeting can be answered with the same number in the other.
