TX-KEA: TX-KEA: What do the TX-KEA color coding benchmarks mean?

 Answer

Color coding represents important benchmarks because it provides the classroom teacher with a way to effectively communicate with other educators and families (e.g., your child appears to be “on track” within the letter naming domain as indicated by the green color). TX-KEA uses three color-coded benchmark categories that can be interpreted as follows:

On Track (green): The student’s performance is above the cut-off score and indicates the student is progressing as expected within a given skill (e.g., letter naming, mathematics).

Monitor (yellow): The student’s performance is approaching the cut-off score that indicates on-track development. This area should be monitored to ensure adequate progress is made.

Support (red): The student’s score is below the cut-off that indicates additional assessment and/or support is recommended.
