- Screening - Diagnostic testing 3. Evaluate program quality

3. Dynamic assessmentBased on Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development, dynamic assessment analyzes a child’s performance not just in terms of what the child can do independently, as most assessment procedures require, but what the child can do with the assistance of a teacher or peer.

1. Observation

  • Curriculum-embedded
  • Play-based
2. Performance assessmentPerformance assessment, also known as authentic assessment, is used to determine what children know and can do from their demonstration of a skill or their creation of a product.

Definition of Assessment ​Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering evidence of a child's learning and learning to make decisions about planning and implementing instruction.

Teachers must not only give information to parents, they must get information from parents as well. Parents can provide insights about children’s behavior and capabilities outside the school or child care center.
