The goal of this edWebinar is to provide practical tips to help your program get the most from developmental screening. Early childhood educators will leave this recorded edWebinar with specific, concrete actions they can take next time they screen. These steps to successful developmental screening will allow you to:

• Ensure screening is conducted with validity
• Help all children be successful
• Communicate screening results to families
• Use results to inform instruction

If your program wants to do more than simply check the box when it comes to your screening, please watch! This recorded edWebinar will be of benefit to preK and kindergarten teachers, school leaders, and preK program administrators.
