Using DRDP Online to Record Assessment Data
DRDP Online, a secure cloud application, is provided free of charge to: (1) California Department of Social Services (CDSS) funded agencies, CDE’s Early Education Division (EED) funded programs, (3) California Head Start programs, (4) California School Districts and County Offices of Education, (5) California Tribal Child Care and Development Fund Child Care and (6) Programs participating in Quality Counts CA. CDSS and EED funded agencies are required to use the DRDP Online to obtain psychometrically valid reports. Use of DRDP Online will also meet the record retention requirement. This means no paper copies of the instrument are required for individual children when assessment data is stored in DRDP Online. For agencies that use commercial vendors, an Excel format has been provided so data can be uploaded into DRDP Online to take advantage of the psychometrically valid report functions.
Some vendors utilize the Excel DRDP template, but unless the data is uploaded into DRDP Online, the reports yielded are not the DRDP Online psychometrically valid reports.
To meet the requirement above, one must demonstrate:
- That a DRDP Online account has been created
- That data has been uploaded into DRDP Online
- That psychometrically valid reports (Child and/or Group Domain Report) have been generated by DRDP Online
Use of an Excel DRDP template simply shows that data has been downloaded from a system other than DRDP Online, but does not constitute psychometrically valid reports. Data input into DRDP Online meets the data retention requirements; including data used to generate psychometrically valid reports. Currently, no other data system has the DRDP psychometrically valid reports.

Upload Child Demographics and/or Ratings
Users can upload children with any age/grade level view by using the All Instrument Child Upload template.
Users can upload children with any age/grade level view. The upload template eliminates the need to upload multiple files for different age/grade levels and is more user-friendly. The new upload template includes these features:
- All ratings for any view are accepted.
- Validations are in place to differentiate each view, so measures for the view selected still need to be completed in order to lock.
- Reports reflect additional measures when completed.
- When uploading, users can edit the file in the system, rather than updating the Excel file and re-uploading.
- Additional uploaded measures display on the rating page for users to view or edit when necessary. (An asterisk is displayed next to extra measures on the rating sheet.)
