The Head Start
Curriculum that is currently
being used is the High/Scope Curriculum which consists of the “Plan-Do-Review”
sequence. I really enjoy using the High/Scope Curriculum because unlike many
traditional test-based assessment systems that target narrow, selected
skills, High/Scope's assessments allow for authentic assessment of each
student’s skills. The assessment materials focus on the broad range of
cognitive, social-emotional, and physical abilities that are at the heart of
developmentally appropriate educational programs for pre-school students. The
High/Scope Curriculum is also aligned with the
State Standards for 18 states. |

In my classroom we use the following assessments in compliance with the
High/Scope Standards: ·
Early Screening
Inventory (ESI) ·
Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Social/Emotional
(ASQ-SE) ·
Child Observation Record (COR) ·
Work Sample Portfolio For more information about specific assessment tools click on the name of the assessment.
These assessments make it easy to
monitor and track student progress on a daily basis, pinpoint each student’s strengths
and weaknesses in order to provide individualized instruction, and
communicate effectively with parents and other important decision-makers
about children's progress and needs. |
