Ashford ECE 671 Week 5 Discussion Performance Assessment Strategies
Performance Assessment Strategies. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Appropriate assessment strategies have the
potential to support children’s individual learning needs, and they can help teachers see evidence of the effect
of their teaching, while also providing a measure of program accountability. Additionally, it is also important to
realize that assessment practices have the potential to do harm. Just as there are concerns about
inappropriate curriculum content and teaching strategies, there are concerns about assessment. NAEYC has
created guidelines that specifically address the early childhood professional’s ethical responsibilities to children
around assessment. Here are the principles and ideals that focus on assessment in NAEYC’s Code of Ethical
Conduct and Statement of Commitment.
To begin this assignment,
• Read the weekly assigned reading and carefully review methods of data collection including anecdotal
records, running records, event sampling, time sampling, checklists, and rating scales. Next, select your three
most preferred methods of authentic assessment.
• Review the following document which highlights the ideals and principles specifically referring to the
responsible assessment of young children found within the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of
Commitment.
Next, in your initial post,
• Discuss why you, as a program administrator, would promote these approaches to assessment in an
early
childhood program you were administering.
• Provide at least one example of the negative consequences for children when programs use
inappropriate
child assessment tools or strategies (such as using an assessment tool incorrectly or interpreting
assessment data).
• Use the course text and/or one outside source to support your response.
