  3. Assessment Type • The assessment that will be conducted is a milestone checklist. • This checklist will evaluate children to see if they have reached their developmental milestones. • This checklist provides the milestones in the different learning areas. (Cognitive, Social Emotional, and Physical Development) • It provides great detail of where a two year old should stand developmentally.

  4. Administration of Assessment • This assessment will be given at the beginning of each school year which is in August. • My colleagues and I will then reassess the children in December and at the end of the school year in May. • The assessment will be done during the children's play time in and out of the classroom, and during one on one sessions.

  5. Legal Considerations • Here at Saguaro Infant Care and Preschool we uphold a high confidentiality agreement. • Any results from this assessment will only be shared between the child’s parents and teachers. • If possible results may be shared with student as well.

  6. Involvement • Parents will be given a milestone checklist of their own to conduct assessment at home. • checklist will be available in English and Spanish. Parents can choose either one. • Meetings may be held to discuss outcome of assessment. • Community members will also be invited to interact with children by reading or creating different art projects with the children.

  7. Expectations/ Outcomes • What we hope to learn from this assessment is for us to get to know the children in detail. • Know children’s strengths and weaknesses. • See how much children develop from beginning, to middle, to end of school year. • Have children meet most milestones to move onto the three year old classroom.

  8. Interactive Activity • PLEASE COMPLETE SURVEY: • 1. What are your child’s strengths? • 2. What are your child’s interests? • 3. Is there anything your child struggles with that you would like me to know about? • 4. In times of stress, what behaviors might your child show? • 5. What do you admire most about your child?

  9. Evaluation • What was your knowledge about assessments before this meeting? • What knowledge did you gain about assessments tonight? • Do you think the assessment being used with the children is effective? Why or Why Not?
