Early childhood professionals need to understand the importance and use of developmentally appropriate assessment. Assessment will be a key component for instructional planning and supporting the development of young children. Think about a time in which you or someone you know was screened or assessed for an educational purpose. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: • What was the purpose of the screening or assessment? • Did the evaluation enhance the educational experience, or was it misused? • How did that experience influence other aspects of your educational plans or goals? Review the College’s Conceptual Framework. • How does this topic link to the College’s Conceptual Framework and the framework’s philosophical relationship to effective teacher preparation? Please use the verbiage from one of the spokes on the framework wheel in your response. You will not get credit if you make up your own.
