Transitional Kindergarten Multilingual Learner Screening Instruments

Multilingual Support Division

This Cover Sheet is designed for interested parties to provide a concise, high-level overview of their screening instrument(s) including its key characteristics and capabilities. This is separate from the detailed Submission Form, which will provide comprehensive evidence of how your screener meets statutory requirements.
Purpose of the Cover Sheet:
For Review Panel: To provide an at-a-glance summary of your screening instrument
For LEAs (Future Use): If approved, this information may be shared with local educational agencies (LEAs) to help them compare and select screeners that best suit their distinct needs
Evaluation Process: The review panel will use this Cover Sheet for initial screening to determine if the instrument meets the five statutory requirements in California Education Code (EC) Section 48004(d) and has capabilities for statewide implementation. Detailed evaluation will follow the two-stage process described in the Request for Information (RFI) Selection Process section.
