Desired Results Access Project

DRDP (2025) Worksheets for Planning to Gather Additional Evidence As you work through DRDP (2025) assessments, you may find that some measures require additional information before completing ratings. The Desired Results Access Project has developed planning worksheets for both the PTK and IT views to help assessors identify measures that need additional observations or conversations with families and other providers. These worksheets can help organize next steps and support a thoughtful, collaborative assessment process.

Every Child Belongs: Napa County's Commitment to Inclusive Early Learning The California Department of Education's Fall 2026 Early Childhood Inclusion Support Newsletter features Napa County Office of Education's (NCOE) work to strengthen inclusive early learning through sustained professional development, collaboration, and community partnerships. The Inclusion Spotlight highlights NCOE's Early Learning Inclusion Cohort, its “Every Child Belongs” professional learning series, and its partnership with CalBloom | Early Learning EveryDay. Through CalBloom's Embedded Learning Framework, educators learn to intentionally incorporate individualized learning opportunities into children's daily routines, play, transitions, and classroom experiences. The partnership combines training, practice-based coaching, reflection, and professional learning communities to help educators support children with diverse abilities learning alongside their peers. Together, these efforts demonstrate how ongoing investment in educators and collaborative partnerships can build lasting systems of inclusion. The newsletter also shares statewide resources, training opportunities, and strategies for supporting inclusive early childhood education. 📖 Read the Inclusion Spotlight (pages 1–4) and download the newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gquxKq_k 🔗 Explore CDE's Inclusive Early Education Resources: https://lnkd.in/gRtmdsVs #EarlyChildhoodInclusion #CalBloom #NCOE #InclusiveEducation #ProfessionalLearning #EmbeddedLearning

Connect Newsletter September 2026: Observation Begins Here DRDP (2025) may be new, but the heart of the work hasn’t changed: it begins with knowing the children you serve. Notice what children are already showing you throughout everyday activities—how they communicate, solve problems, connect with others, and respond to challenges. Focus on meaningful, objective observations rather than trying to document everything. Need support?
