Fitting a Circle into a Square Space: Finding Alignment between Assessment Measures, State Guidelines and Outcomes

Overarching Principles Assess and monitor what we are supposed to be targeting for instruction to determine if the instruction is effective Assessment measures need to provide information that is informative - for instruction purposes Assessment information needs to allow for an examination of growth (or lack of) The assessment process needs to be authentic The assessment instruments need to lend themselves to acquiring information through an observational – performance based process The measures have to be linked to the state’s early learning guidelines for infant-toddlers and preschool children.

Fitting a Circle Into A Square Space Step One Examine Guidelines Step Two Align Guidelines To Outcomes Step Three Align Outcomes To Assessment Measure

Language and Literacy Development L 1 Communicate so that they will be understood by peers and adults L 2 When speaking, show an attempt to use volume appropriate to the situation L 3 Communicate using multiple word phrases to respond to questions, describe ideas, and express feelings, needs and wants L 4 Use language to enter into a play situation L 5 Engage in conversation by making statements or asking questions L 6 Make up and/or retell stories and describe experiences L 7 Respond to their names, requests for action or information L 8 Demonstrate understanding of messages in conversation by listening and responding appropriately L 9Show interest in playing with language L 10 Begin to develop familiarity with listening to, identifying, recognizing, and discriminating sounds in words L 11 Follow two or three-step directions L 12Show an interest in books and/or engage in reading related activities L 13Listen with interest to a story L 14 Hold a book upright, turn pages from the front of the book to the back, and scan pages L 15 Recognize common sounds at the beginning of words L 16 Show increasing awareness of print, familiar signs, and labels L 17 Use scribbles, symbols, or drawings to express experiences through pictures, dictation, and play L 18 Experiment with a variety of writing tools and materials L 19 Begin to recognize, name, or identify some letters of the alphabet L 20Recognize their first name in print written with the first letter in upper-case letter, followed by lower case letters L 21 Become aware that there are differences in upper and lower case letters L 22 Begin to write the letters of their first name L 23 Begin to answer questions related to a story that has been read or told to him/her

Alignment Process Identified a set of assessments that were common across programs Identified a group of master early education practitioners Established an alignment process – 2 practitioners independently go through each assessment and identify links between assessment items and early learning guideline “opportunities” Complete alignment analysis –Which assessments were assessing for opportunities contained in our guidelines

Then remove and ask of two and then hidden "What's missing?" g. Remembers incidental information IT Show increased short and long term memory and increased attention PLAY, REVIEW Engage child in conversation about what did during play immediately after playing. h. Names one of several (4 or more) objects or pictures shown (or IT Show increased short and long term memory and increased attention Dramatic Play - While playing, put something in the refrigerator objects felt), named and then hidden then ask, "Where did I put the ----?" i. After observing three objects being placed under separate covers, IT Show increased short and long term memory and increased attention PLAY - While playing in the sand with a few toys, show the child identifies the cover under which a matching object is hidden one toy, hide it in the sand, then ask, "Can you find the ---?" j.

Ask the child the label the toy, then hide it. Ask the child, "What's missing?"
