Abstract	Planning effectively for children with diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and school-readiness levels can be daunting. To better understand and respond to such challenges, early elementary educators need to become familiar with what it means to be a ready school, so they can assess and implement strategies to ensure success for all students. In this article, the authors describe what it means to be a ready school and present an assessment that will give early elementary educators some idea of how to evaluate a school in terms of readiness. This assessment focuses on eight key dimensions that teachers and schools should evaluate when asking, "Are we a ready school?" Assessment using the dimensions can assist educators in evaluating their individual school's state of readiness. These eight key dimensions are listed. (Contains 16 resources.)
