EOY Reporting Resources

ECDS Pre-K Reporting Process

Texas school districts and charter schools will use the XML File Download Tool on CLI Engage to export pre-K data to upload into TEA’s Early Childhood Data System (ECDS). Texas districts are required to submit beginning-of-year (BOY) and end-of-year (EOY) child progress monitoring data by the June 27 due date.

Steps prior to exporting your XML files:

Use Student Results Export to download a file of the progress monitoring data
Ensure that all students have TSDS IDs
Ensure that any duplicate students have been removed
Update and adjust enrollment and withdrawal dates to exclude students who were not enrolled during your assessment window

Details related to your report submission:

Only includes data from BOY and EOY CIRCLE Progress Monitoring
XML report automatically includes required CPM measures for ECDS
TSDS ID numbers are required for students:
Reports include scores only for students with a valid 10-digit TSDS ID
Students with missing, invalid, or duplicate TSDS ID are not included
Assessment window dates are also required
Reports include scores for both active and inactive students with PK grade level
XML files will not include an overall composite score for “school readiness”
If your teachers assessed students in English and Spanish, be sure to export XML files for both languages

Learn more from the ECDS Uploads for Pre-K Data webpage and included video.

Student Results Export Report

The Student Results Export can be generated for all assessments in CLI Engage. This report will provide individual scores for each student by item showing each task within a measure, or by results indicating on track, needs support, or monitoring. Administrators can use this report to filter and view their student results.

Review our Student Results Export Report how-to guide for step-by-step instructions.

Download Data Before Deletion

Communities/districts can generate the Student Results Export or other reports any time before the end of June to store collected assessment data they wish to save in their system for future reference or archiving. All 2023-2024 student assessment data will be deleted in July when the CLI Engage database rolls over for use in the next school year.

Download all data to be saved before June 30, the last day to access assessment data!

CIRCLE Activity Collection: Family

The CIRCLE Activity Collection: Family translates child development research into practice by providing a variety of hands-on activities that families can do at home. This free collection provides fun, playful learning experiences for students which also support what they are learning in school.

Activities are available in English and Spanish and include:

a description of the activity, the learning areas the activity supports, and an appropriate age range
materials needed for the activity (usually common household objects)
activity instructions and phrases that help families begin the activity
helpful hints, including tips to make the activity easy to do, different ways the activity can be completed, and how to make it less or more challenging

Search the collection and share the web address cliengagefamily.org with your families!

CIRCLE STEM Lab

To increase the quantity and scope of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities included in the CIRCLE Activity Collection, CLI formed a partnership with PBS. This collaboration resulted in the development of 20 child-directed, interactive lessons that use PBS LearningMedia video.

Presenting STEM content in a child-friendly and entertaining manner, the activities teach foundational STEM skills known to be important for 3- to 6-year-olds. Set in a virtual laboratory setting, the CIRCLE STEM Lab integrates the video segments with hands-on activities to be completed by the child. Each activity is designed to facilitate independent learning by individual students.

All activities include:

a short introduction to the topic
a video from PBS LearningMedia
a demonstration of the task
guided practice with feedback
practice opportunities without feedback
a recap of the images from the activity as the items are scored
a brief summary and explanation of the independent practice

Share the CIRCLE STEM Lab Family Guide when you send these activities home!

CLI Engage is part of the Children's Learning Institute at UTHealth Houston
