Early Childhood Education | Philosophy | Program | Assessment Policy | Ready?| | Admissions Policy | Handbook | Raising a reader |   Assessment like every other part of the early childhood program, will be developmentally appropriate. Authentic assessment is used often throughout the curriculum. Types of authentic assessment include observation, and the reporting devices for observation, such as anecdotal records, running records, and informal reading inventories. Portfolios, work samples, and products are methods of assessment the teacher uses to show growth and development. The purpose of assessment is to inform educators and parents of student's progress in school. We believe that each child has a different level of maturity and abilities. Understanding and encouragement are the most positive qualities used when assessing young learners.   Assessment Procedure The teacher will: Maintain adequate student anecdotal records. Build a portfolio of student's work to show growth and progress. Evaluate and report student's progress to parents on the following schedule. An informal note will be sent home to parents on a monthly basis. Every six weeks a "review sheet" will be sent home to the parents. The teacher will evaluate the individual students and complete a form to inform the parents of their child's progress. A formal progress report will be sent home to parents two times per year(Jan./May) Take into account each child's style and pace of learning when assessing students abilities.
