Abstract: | This article will describe an approach to planning and assessment that is designed to support an emergent, play-based curriculum
while helping teachers make informed instructional decisions. Using assessment that supports curriculum allows early childhood
professionals to infuse early learning content standards into meaningful, relevant and connected topics of study. Through
a combined effort among teachers, administrators and university faculty, one demonstration school developed a method of integrating
and evaluating content standards and developmental skills into an emergent curriculum model. While this remains a work in
progress, it does show promise for being an effective way to address state standards while maintaining recommended developmentally
appropriate practices. |
