A teacher is having a difficult time providing evidence from
the initial assessment tool(s) used at the children’s entry date how data is
taken to plan individual and/or small group activities according to domain skill
level(s). Here are some helpful tips
that will assist in the process to show and plan cultural developmentally age
appropriate activities to monitor children’s growth.
1.
After completing the required assessment tool(s)
chart the domain skills that the child needs to work on throughout the school
year (mid- term and long-term goals).
NOTE: create an individualized
goal sheet to record progress;
2.
When writing the lesson plan review the class
list with co-teacher to determine which day(s) specifically will be given to
children to work on specific skills from their individualized goal sheet. Record the children’s code (e.g., initials,
symbols) with specific activities to work it.
It is suggested to have related study them activities for them, if
possible;
3.
As the children are engaging in specific skills
record observational notes that will be transferred to their individualized
goal sheet determining whether mastered or modifications need to be put in
place. Remember, engage parents in the
conversation of activities they can do at home with progression notes and/or
conversation. It is a team effect to provide
the best quality education; and,
4.
Place in children’s portfolio the individualized
goal sheet with artifacts showing date(s) and dictation, if possible.
Following these steps and make modifications to them for your
classroom to ensure that assessment tool(s) data is being used to drive your
planning of culturally developmentally age appropriate activities and you have
documentation. As you use the assessment
tool(s) data it will enhance the planning skill levels to show progression or
review levels of activities planned. If
you have helpful tips, please share because knowledge is powerful.
