ASSESSING CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING

Through regular assessment, teachers understand what each child knows and can do. This helps them decide which materials, activities, and experiences to add to help children continue learning. Teachers assess children's learning and development by:

  • Regularly taking notes on what children do and say

  • Collecting samples of children's drawings and writings

  • Taking photos of the things children make

  • Using screening tests to identify when children need more learning support

  • Asking you what activities your child does at home and what interests he/she has

DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES

Teachers want to build trusting relationships with families. They know that you are the most important people in your child's life. Teachers partner with families by:

  • Listening to families' goals and concerns for their children

  • Encouraging families to participate in the program in different ways

  • Showing respect for each family and its language and culture

  • Trying to find ways to communicate in a family's home language
