Can the COR be used used as a screening instrument to determine placement or eligibility for special services?
The COR is not designed to screen children for problems and deficits. Rather, it is an observational assessment instrument that documents children’s growth over time based on evidence in the form of anecdotes and child creations. By contrast, screening instruments do not use anecdotes or work samples as evidence but instead rely on data collected as children perform a set of standardized tasks. While COR data is collected and scored over a period of months, screening instruments are typically administered one time, with the results often used to make high-stakes decisions.
