Description - Assessing Children's Learning in Early Childhood Settings: 3 Videos, 1 Book and Overhead Transparencies by Margaret Carr

A professional development programme for discussion and reflection. The aim is to provide practitioners with guidelines for evaluating and developing their own assessment policies and procedures - some focus points for debate and some ideas for action. Three videos encourage practitioners to ask questions as they explore how best to weave assessment into their curriculum: What to assess? - Why assess? - How to assess? The videos show how these questions have been tackled in five different early childhood settings. The curriculum illustrated is the national early childhood curriculum for Aotearoa - New Zealand, Te Whariki, but the issues that emerge from these questions apply to any curriculum, at any level of education. And, there's more - A support book provides a framework for workshops, based on the three videos. The book contains plans for the workshops, seven accompanying readings, and overhead transparencies or worksheets. The readings include a series of reflective questions for discussion and debate, as well as footnotes that suggest further reading.
