Unit 6 Assignment: Project Identification Essay
CE300- Observation and Assessment in Early Childhood
Introduction
Why are results from assessments important to inform parents about when dealing with their child? The audience that I will be reaching will be the parents because these specific results are geared towards their children in the classroom. I will be using a PowerPoint to inform the parents of what assessments and observations are and why/how are they used in the classroom to include the results from each. When you give a child the tools to succeed 9 times out of 10, they become successful so why not do the same for their parents. As a parent and educator I want to know everything when it comes to that little one of mine regardless of the fact that I am an educator because I am a parent first and if I am informed of something I will check it out first before making any assumptions.
Project Summary
The purpose for my project is to give the parent a clear understanding of the results received from the assessments completed in the classroom. The only issues that I have run into recently is that the parents are not completely educated on what assessments are and why are they used because when they think of assessments, they think that their child is being bad now you have to sit them down and so forth. I have found that once you inform the parents in the beginning of what these assessments and observations are along with why they are used they have a better understanding. Instead of just talking at the parents like must people do you must talk with the parent so that everyone is on the same page, so the child is not confused as to doing one thing at school and another at home.
Project Impact
I think that this type of project can impact a community because if you think about if how many parent(s) are out there that have no clue as to what an assessment is and why their child(ren) should be observed within the classroom. This project will enlighten parents as to the understanding of assessments and observations along with informing them of all the different results that we receive from assessments and observations. When it comes to the community by educating everyone it allows everyone to be on the same page, so I think that if you do workshops for parents or anyone interested in being educated on certain topics such as mental health, developmentally appropriate toys and/or milestones for children. I enjoy learning new things when it comes to children because there is always something new or changing about policies and regulations for children within the school system or childcare facility.
Alignment with Course Outcomes
The reasoning for me choosing to do the PowerPoint for my project is because I think that it will be easier for a parent to look at colorful slides filled with information compared to a handbook or google site. I believe that it all aligns with the listed outcomes since I will be explaining the results of the assessment and informing them of ways to implement things at home and the assessment is geared toward the child regardless.
Conclusion
My project aligns with my initial question because I am giving the parents the results to their child’s assessment because I want them to be able to understand the purpose behind assessments, how the assessments are implemented into the classroom and the different types so that they can see for themselves why we do this and how it affects their child. All parents want to know why these assessments are done and how it affects their child later in their child’s school life. Once I have completed my project the parents of the target child will have a clear picture as to why we do assessments and how the results help us to guide the way we teach certain things or how we can help them reach developmental milestones they have yet to complete for whatever reason.
