Abstract Setting The Stage The first module in the series presents today's most updated thinking on the assessment of young children. The validity of Authentic Assessment techniques to chart children's growth and development versus the use of standardized testing will be discussed. This module sets the stage for understanding how children are observed within the context of their play and culture, and how observations are important to understanding their total development.
Abstract Observation I: The Eyes Have It! This module explores a variety of authentic assessment techniques used in preschool settings to document the growth of young children in their classrooms. Teachers discuss the system they have set-up with their team members to observe children in their classroom. They also address the importance of respect by observing children within the context of their own culture. Teachers are shown interacting with children as they take observations in social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language domains of development.
Abstract Parents: Our Most Important Resource The module begins with an education coordinator sharing information regarding assessment at a Parent Meeting. The process of developing the portfolio, the formal checklist and the parent report form is explained. In the second part of the video, a pre-school child is observed by a teacher in the classroom. The teacher then shares her observations with the mother during a school conference and at a home visit. The student's progress is discussed and goals are set.
Abstract Training And Support Is The Key Education Coordinators and Directors discuss the importance of initial and on-going training for their staff and themselves. They describe how they were instructed in the curriculum assessment model which they use. They also describe how they share this information with their staff and provide support and training throughout the year. The importance of being able to link assessment information to curriculum, and how teachers can plan based on this information is also presented.
