Then it will be an online initial assessment after the enrolment of the student, but…

Biopsychosocial Assessment Critique Capus P. Barnett Valdosta State University In my endeavors to learn how to efficiently interview an older adult, I interviewed a woman named “Teresa Craig” that is sixty-five years old.

Assessment is a fundamental component of early childhood education and care. Government documents including EYLF, QKLG, ACARA, and the Code of Ethics recognise the importance of assessment in monitoring and supporting each individual child’s learning and development across all educational settings (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, 2009; Early Childhood Australia, 2006; Queensland Studies Authority, 2010; Smidt, 2015).

Assessment: My Reflection I’ve always hated being assessed. Even when I was a young kid I thought it was weird to be compared to another person, standard, or a perception of where I should be. Up until my high school career I hated the idea of grades, but then I started self-evaluating why that was? I started noticing that the classes that I performed the best in were classes that usually didn’t assess my creativity. Whenever I saw a box that said something along the lines of “Creativity 20…
