Assessment of Young Children
3 credits

Preschool teachers need to understand how formal and informal assessments, when developmentally appropriate in design and purpose, are beneficial for young children. This course focuses on understanding and using appropriate assessments when planning and implementing educational services and programs for very young children (ages 3-5).  Students will learn the value of multiple assessments, how to select appropriate rating systems and measures, and how to record and apply results. The course will emphasize accommodations and modifications for children with exceptionalities, as well as how to build programs and services based on learning styles and strengths.
