Question 2 of 4: Why is the COS process needed?

Incorrect. Try again.

Hint: There are no assessment instruments that measure the three child outcomes directly. Furthermore, recommended practice in early childhood assessment is to use multiple sources of information about a child. Also, different programs use different assessment instruments and processes. Sometimes, different multiple assessment tools are used within the same program.

Because no single assessment instrument assesses the three outcomes directly.
Because recommended assessment practice is to use multiple sources of information.
Because different programs use different assessment instruments, and outcome data need to be summarized across programs.
All of the above.
