The
Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS)
is a year long, performance-based assessment. The primary purpose
of GKIDS is to provide teachers with ongoing diagnostic information
about kindergarten students’ developing skills in language
arts, math, science, social studies, personal/social development,
and approaches to learning. GKIDS will also provide a summary
of student performance in language art and mathematics at the
end of the kindergarten school year. GKIDS should serve as one
indicator of first grade readiness. GKIDS will serve both a
formative and summative role in assessing kindergarten students. 1st
