Consider what you have learned about why we assess young children. Based on pages 33-35 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children’s Development and Learning and the video segment “Overview of Assessment”,” briefly explain the importance of developmentally appropriate assessments.
Policymakers, the early childhood profession, and other stakeholders in young children’s lives have many shared responsibilities regarding effective assessment (NAEYC & NAEC/SDE, 2003, p. 4). Using the information presented on pages 3–6 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children’s Development and Learning, explain the responsibilities of each of these groups in ensuring effective assessment.
Each child approaches, interacts, and processes their world in unique ways. Effective assessment takes this uniqueness into account through sensitivity to individual abilities and linguistic, social, and cultural differences. Review pages 18–24 of Assessing and Guiding Young Children’s Development and Learning, and explain, using examples, why sensitivity to each of these factors is such an important component of effective assessment. Then, summarize the role fair and impartial assessment plays in achieving this sensitivity.
