Learning without feedback is impossible. As a parent, what kind of assessment practices should be in your child’s early learning environment?
Assessment is an ongoing process, where children’s learning is documented over time and over many different situations. Determining a child’s interests and strengths, and building towards individual milestones is an important part of assessment.
Parents can ask the following questions when looking for an early learning environment:
- Does your child have opportunities to articulate their own learning / understanding, and are there opportunities for children to initiate projects based on their own interests?
- Are there interesting and unusual objects brought into the classroom? Are there plenty of opportunities for social and individual play?
