“A good observer is a good teacher,”
declares education coordinator Theresa
Collado. This bon mot is validated as we
explore a variety of authentic assessment
techniques used in pre-school settings to
document the mental growth of young
children. We show observations, work
samples, story dictation and pictures of
the youngsters mingling in their own
environment. Teachers share effective
systems of observation they’ve created in
collaboration with their colleagues, and are
shown interacting with children in ways
that best allow them to observe the social/
emotional, physical, cognitive and language
development of their students. They then
discuss their use of assessment results in
the development of their curricula, and
how they have been able to use these
assessments to effectively individualize
instruction for the children in their class.
