Program Type

VPK Program Type is either the school-year (540 hour) or summer (300 hour) program.

Low Performing Provider

A Low Performing Provider is one who does not achieve a minimum readiness rate that would demonstrate the provider's satisfactory delivery of the VPK program. The minimum rate adopted by the State Board of Education may not exceed the rate at which more than 15 percent of all providers would fall below the minimum rate. If the readiness rate of a private provider or public school falls below the minimum rate, the coalition or school district, as applicable, shall require the provider or school to submit an improvement plan for approval by the coalition or school district, as applicable, and to implement the plan.

Children Included in the VPK Provider Readiness Rate Calculation

Children Served - The number of children enrolled at the provider for the 2007-08 program year. The VPK Provider must have served at least four children to be included in the readiness rate.
Children Meeting Substantial Completion - The number of children who attended at least 70% of the provider's school-year or summer program. The provider must have served at least four children to be included in the readiness rate calculation.
Children Screened on Any Measure - For the 2009-10 kindergarten screening, the FLKRS included a subset of the Early Childhood Observation System (ECHOS) as it did in 2008-09 but the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS), Letter Naming Fluency and Initial Sound Fluency, have been replaced by the Broad Screen and Broad Diagnostic Inventory, two measures from the Kindergarten Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading (FAIR). The Broad Screen is comprised of a Letter Naming task and a Phonemic Awareness task that provide a probability of reading success score.
Children Screened on Letter Naming in Spanish (IDEL®) - The number of children who were screened on the IDEL®. The IDEL® is administered in addition to the DIBELS® Letter Naming Fluency measure, which is in English. Children eligible for the IDEL® include students who answered "Yes" to at least two questions on the Home Language Survey and whose native language is Spanish.
Children in Readiness Rate Calculation - The number of children who attended at least 70% of the provider's school-year or summer program and who were screened on any one of the three FLKRS measures.
Percent of Children in Readiness Rate Calculation - The number of Children in the Readiness Rate Calculation divided by the number of Children Served.

VPK Provider Kindergarten Readiness Rate Calculation

Children Ready for Kindergarten - The number of children whose results on the FLKRS measures demonstrated readiness for kindergarten. Readiness for Kindergarten on ECHOS™ is Demonstrating or Emerging/Progressing, and on DIBELS® Letter Naming, IDEL®, and Initial Sound Fluency it is Above Average or Low Risk.
Children Screened - The number of children screened on each of the three FLKRS measures.
Percent of Children Ready for Kindergarten - The number of Children Ready for Kindergarten divided by the Children Screened on each measure.
VPK Provider Kindergarten Readiness Rate - The sum of the Percent of Children Ready for Kindergarten. The maximum rate is 300.

Providers Not Included in the Readiness Rate

Some private and public school VPK Providers will not meet the criteria for the calculation of a Kindergarten Readiness Rate because they did not serve at least four children who substantially completed the program and were screened.
Information as to why a private or public school VPK Provider was not included in the readiness rate calculation will be included on the VPK Provider Profile.
