DRDP Reminder: Time to Produce Reports of Results
Remember that you can produce individual child reports for the DRDP assessments you completed this fall. The Child Report, Child Progress Report, and Peer Reference reports provide information that you can use to plan instruction; inform goals, outcomes, and learning targets; and share with families.

Join us for two webinar series this year: Coffee Break Webinars, a quick look at resources and strategies for using the DRDP; and Learn It & Use It, more in-depth sessions about the use of the DRDP results.
