Aligning COR to the State Standards

Angela sent me this file that aligns the COR to the Illinois Early Learning Standards.  I put it on the Assessment page, but I had forgotten to write up a post about it.  This will be especially useful when writing IEP goals that align with the COR and the Illinois Early Learning Standards.  You can access the file thought the link in this post as well as on the Assessment page.

Thanks Angela!

COR Tip

We received this tip in the curriculum question box.  Thank you to whoever submitted it!

If you want to change a score that is already inputed onto online COR, go to click on child, click on manage anecdotes, go to ʺAdd another scoreʺ.  Then you can delete the old score without deleting the anecdote and you can add in the new score.

COR Collection -- from Erin

I thought I'd share my COR collection system.  So far, it seems to be working fairly well for us.  Here's a photo of our our main COR collection area.

On the clipboard on the left are my observation logs for the week, and next to that is a laminated sheet where I write down specific COR items that we are observing for that week.  The observation logs all match up with our COR items for the week.  This makes it easy to keep track of who I still need to get observations on, and the COR items of the week help me plan activities.

On the right side of the photo are laminated sheets where we stick up additional observations that the team makes during the week.  This makes it easy for any team member to write down an anecdote, and they are all in the same place for me!

Finally, this is my COR collection checklist.  It has all of the benchmarks for both Infant/Toddler and the Preschool COR.  When I collect something, I check it off, and I highlight it when it's entered into the COR.  This is a much faster reference for me than running reports to see what I still need to collect.

I hope some of these ideas will be useful for some of you!
