Education Coordinators and Directors
discuss the importance of initial and
ongoing training for their staff and
themselves. They relate their own
instruction in the particular curriculum
assessment model they use, and describe
how they share this information with their
staff and provide further support and
continuous training throughout the year.
Educators discuss issues they’ve
encountered while training teachers in
various assessment techniques. Instructors
agree that training teachers with varying
levels of writing skills, computer skills and
knowledge of child development is a
challenge. Trainers note that a willingness
to find and schedule time — time to train,
time to provide ongoing support, time
to make observations and collate data
— is important. Also discussed are ways
in which teachers can link assessment
information to curriculum, and make plans
based on the information they’ve gathered.
