  • Indicator 7: Preschool Outcomes

Indicator 7: Preschool Outcomes

What Indicator 7 Is

Indicator 7 collects information for children with IEPs, ages 3–5, who are enrolled in a preschool program. The indictor looks at how much progress children make between the time they enter and exit the program. 

Why Indicator 7 Is Important

Indicator 7 measures progress in critical areas such as social/emotional health as well as physical and cognitive development. Measuring the progress in these areas can inform families and educators about a child's strengths and areas of need.

How Indicator 7 Is Measured

Indicator 7 measures the percent of preschool children aged 3 through 5 with IEPs who demonstrate improvement in the following areas:

  1. 7A. Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships)
  2. 7B. Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/ communication and early literacy)
  3. 7C. Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs

For each outcome, the state must report the percent of children who qualify for the following two summary statements:

  1. Summary Statement 1: Of those preschool children who entered the preschool program below age expectations in each Outcome, the percent who substantially increased their rate of growth by the time they turned 6 years of age or exited the program.
  2. Summary Statement 2: The percent of preschool children who were functioning within age expectations in each Outcome by the time they turned 6 years of age or exited the program.
