Each school year, teachers use the Maryland Model for School Readiness (MMSR - an assessment tool) to evaluate what each kindergartner knows and is able to do. The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) releases the MMSR data every March, providing vital information about the school readiness of Maryland's children.
Ready At Five's Getting Ready 2010 series highlights the MMSR 2009-2010 data. See below for statewide data (Getting Ready 2010) and jurisdictional data (a 2-page overview for each jurisdiction), as well as customized PowerPoint presentations and printer-friendly handouts. A parent information piece (Getting Ready 2010: Parents Can Help!) is also available.
