As mentioned in a previous blog (which has more to do with my day job than my time as President of DEC), I'm planning to use the Young Exceptional Children Monograph #13 as a required text to support student learning in my assessment and evaluation course at Kent State University this spring.
| Young Exceptional Children: Monograph 13 |
This coming week I'm going to preview the monograph's contents with students so they understand why the monograph was developed and how all the major assessment purposes and issues facing those working in EI/ECSE are covered.
Then, each time one of the article is assigned or used in class - I'm going to ask students to reflect here (in the blog) instead of in our course management system. The idea is to spark conversation among those working in the field and with families as we all consider appropriate assessment practices with young children.
Feel free to comment, to have your own students comment, and/or to share the blog entries with others.
