VI. Assessment and Evaluation
Several methods are used to assess and evaluate the children's progress:
A. Observational Checklists
Teachers will observe children during various activities and use checklists to monitor their participation, social interactions, and skill development. These observations help identify each child's strengths and areas where they may need additional support.
B. Portfolio Collections
Throughout the month, samples of children's work are collected, including artwork, crafts, and any written or drawn materials related to the weekly themes. These portfolios provide a comprehensive view of each child's progress and achievements over time.
C. Parent Feedback
Open communication with parents and guardians is maintained, with regular updates and discussions about their child's development. Parents can provide valuable insights into their child's behavior and learning at home, which can help tailor the approach to better meet each child's needs.
D. Developmental Milestones
Developmental milestones in cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language domains are tracked. By comparing each child's progress with expected age-appropriate milestones, those who may need further evaluation or specialized support can be identified.
E. Interactive Assessments
Engaging children in interactive and playful assessments allows for evaluation of their understanding and skills in a natural and stress-free environment. Activities such as storytelling, role-playing, and problem-solving tasks are used to assess their cognitive and language development.
Overall, the assessment and evaluation processes are designed to be holistic, inclusive, and supportive, ensuring that every child receives the attention and resources needed to thrive in the preschool program.
