The assessment helps the assessor to have deeper understand the ways in which they support student 's literacy development (Wilde, 2000). The method to gather the evidence of students ' learning is appropriate. Observation, other 's feedback and child 's written work are used in the lesson plan for assessment to analyse children 's development level, which are useful to notice the type of miscues the students are making (Brown, 2001). It can also help the teacher to analyse the effectiveness of the lesson…
The SENCO would in turn speak to the child’s parents about their child’s development, and depending on the area of development concerned, suggest an assessment by an outside professional. The professional would in turn give the SENCO advice as to how the child should be supported in school in order to encourage development, this may involve the school providing support or it may involve the professional giving direct support. It is important that any needs are identified so that the correct support/intervention is given in order to prevent the development delay getting worse and spreading to other areas of the child’s development. Some of the interventions used are explained…
The fourth observation is physical development, fine and gross motor skills. Mallorie displayed age appropriate fine and gross motor skills according to my checklist. Also, at the time of the observation she would spill water all over the table when trying to pour water for herself. Currently, she has achieved hola hooping. I watched a video of her hula hooping, and she has mastered the skill, and it was quite amazing since I cannot even achieve that ability.…
I was to continue observing children’s behavior in their classroom environment. Competency skill 7 states a professional social worker, “Identify own stages of development and areas of growth based on the following dimension: Biological, spiritual, psychological, socioeconomic, cultural, aesthetic, gender roles and relations.” Although a social worker should be able to notice stages of development and areas of growth in these dimensions within themselves, it is important they be able to notice another individual’s stages of development and areas of growth. Being able to notice the children’s developmental stages will help in being able to predict their behaviors and create intervention if I ever plan to work with kids in the…
Observations demonstrate what readers are able to do. Observations are much more useful for teachers’ understanding of students abilities than beginning of the year or end of the year tests (Clay, 2002). For example, a football coach can’t only look at the score during or at the end of the game, they must observe the way their players are playing as they are playing – a running record that identifies patterns. The coach can then help the players learn strategic moves to…
1- Screening is used to determine whether the students may need help or services, or whether they are ready to begin a course, grade level or academic program. 2- The evaluation is to evaluate the child’s development to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. 3- Eligibility and diagnosis is used whether the child has a disability and is eligible for special education services, and to diagnose a child’s problems.…
The importance of a person centred and inclusive approach is that your looking at the individual child and the needs of that child. My setting works with many outside agencies in order that the in-dividual child has all they need in place to be included in all aspects of the school day. Some chil-dren will have an individual education plan (IEP) which will set out what they aim to achieve with-in a set time frame with support other children may need the school grounds to be adapted we have adapted our school in order for the child to gain access around the school ground so things like ramps in place and hygiene suites. Question 39. When working as a home based childcare you will undertake observations and assessments of the children in…
KSC3 Demonstrated capacity to monitor and assess student learning data and to use this data to inform teaching for improved student learning. Monitoring and assessing student achievement is a vital part of the teaching- learning cycle. It enables me to monitor student’s progress, improve my teaching and develop lesson that are targeted at each students’ individual needs. Throughout my placement I have been able to develop a range of both summative and formative assessment tasks, which have allowed me to analyse and record student progress and differentiate my teaching where necessary.…
Summative assessment is all the tests that each key stage take at the end of a school year. The results inform not only the teachers but also the parents, government, management team etc… Formative assessment are on going observation for planning provision. Such assessment is made to monitor the learning, giving feedback to pupils to identify their strength and weaknesses. As we all know that teachers are required to keep records on every child progress and other achievements that they make in school, we as HLTA through on going observations and other assessment of pupils will be able to assist the teacher to maintain a profile for each individual child.…
Accurate and coherent records must be correct, must be about the individual child’s interests planning this is important because it allows practitioner and professional to gather a picture of the child. All practitioners have duty to maintain a good clear written record of all concerns and actions regarding safeguarding and child protection issues for the children in their care. Practitioner must make sure all records are kept securely and locked at all time. All records should be readable so that other practitioner or professional can read and understand, also all the records must be up to date. Early Years Foundation Stage have said all setting must maintain records and share information with parents and carers, other professionals who is…
PBIS or Positive Behavioral Interventions Support is a school wide practice conducted to target a specific behavior(s) and improve the behavioral by-product. At Higher Ground Academy I have ascertained to see what type of PBIS is applied throughout the school. As a result of this research study, I’ve concluded two outcomes. First, PBIS Is implemented but through a different name and labeled as simply, citizenship. Second, teachers import intervention instructions, assistance and materials via the resource room, formerly known as special ed classroom.…
INTASC Standards: 8, 9 Standard #8 - “The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social and physical development of the learner (Henson, 2009).” As a teacher it is important to use a variety of assessments to evaluate and ensure that students understand and are learning the content presented in the classroom. In addition to giving traditional assessments such as a quiz, exam or paper, alternatives that will be provided include group assessments, self-assessment, portfolios, observations and performance assessments. By applying varied assessment methods a check for understanding of a student’s knowledge will be better assessed since there are limitations with different types of evaluations.…
During my observation in Mrs. Herd’s first grade class I directed two assessments to four students. The assessments were the Yopp-Singer Test of Phoneme Segmentation and Rosner Test of Auditory Analysis. Before administering the assessments to the four students I made a point to set myself up for it. A few ways I set myself up was reading more about the assessments, watching some videos on how to conduct the tests, and furthermore doing a practical assessment to my friend’s child. I wanted to assure myself that I was well prepared to examine the students because I didn’t want to make any errors while examining the students and have them repeat the examination again.…
Assessment Techniques: From observing Tom the tools that the professionals will be using to assess him are the Child Behaviour Checklists for Ages 6-18 and the Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language.

The Child Behaviour Checklists is known to be a segment of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)…
Freud – psychoanalytic Freud identified three parts to the personality, starting with a †̃symbioticâ€TM relationship between a mother and child in the first months. Here an infant sees him or herself as part of his or her mother. This is one reason why a child of about 18 months becomes †̃egocentricâ€TM, or aware of himself as separate, and able to say †̃noâ€TM and to be in control. As we go through childhood into adulthood we develop moral views and the †̃idâ€TM (I want it now!)…
