Products: Products include an assessment and instructional software that is independently completed by children and provides immediately generated reports for teachers and parents. Parents also receive "video reports" that show a child's responses to specific questions accompanied by developmental information about the child's pattern of response.
Supplemental information
Once completed, the team completed pilot testing to validate the CPAA in 32 schools with more than 2,400 students throughout New York City, Philadelphia, and in New Haven, Connecticut. Results demonstrated feasibility (the CPAA ran on a wide range of computer hardware with minimal requirements), usability (students and teachers were able to use the CPAA to supplement normal classroom practices), and reliability (the CPAA performed consistently across three different administrations). Further, the external validity of the CPAA was demonstrated through testing in 5 schools with more than 800 students in Arizona. In this research, CPAA scores were consistent with results generated from other standardized tests including the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills, the Terra Nova Achievement Test, and the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards.
