📋 Assignment Instructions

When working with students in an early childhood educational setting, you must assess their progress and collaborate with families and colleagues to determine ways to support their learning. Selecting appropriate assessments, collaborating with stakeholders, and communicating effectively are important steps in assessing and evaluating student learning. Collaboration strategies, such as professional learning communities (PLCs) and scheduled common planning time, can help educators identify student strengths and needs, solve problems, and develop targeted instructional strategies. Communication may take various forms, including classroom apps, text messages, emails, and report cards. Any information you gather through assessment and evaluation should be shared with all stakeholders involved with your students.

Review the First-Grade Student Data, then complete Parts 1–3 to summarize student needs and develop a stakeholder collaboration and communication plan for each student. Part 1: Student Summary and Stakeholder Collaboration and Communication Plan for Zuri Summary Write a 50- to 75-word summary based on Zuri’s profile. Describe the teacher’s concerns, the student’s needs, and how you might address those needs. Zuri is a first-grade student who struggles with reading comprehension and vocabulary. During an oral story elements check, she showed limited ability to describe characters, settings, and events, requiring intensive support. Teachers are concerned about her narrative understanding and expressive language skills. Zuri benefits from visual learning and persistence. To address her needs, targeted vocabulary instruction, guided story discussions, and sequencing activities can help her connect ideas and improve oral responses. Stakeholder Collaboration and Communication Plan Complete the table to develop a communication and collaboration plan for 3 individual or group stakeholders (e.g., grade-level team, parents or caregivers, administrators, other school specialists) you could contact regarding Zuri. • In Column 1, identify each of the 3 stakeholders. • In Column 2, write a minimum 75-word explanation of why you selected the stakeholder, including how the stakeholder could help you and the student based on the assessment and evaluation information. • In Column 3, write a minimum 75-word description of your plan for reaching out to the stakeholder. Include when (e.g., before school, during planning time), where (e.g., PLC meeting, parent-teacher conference), and how (e.g., in-person, by phone, via email) you plan to communicate.
