The assessment of young children's development and learning has
recently taken on new importance. Private and government
organizations are developing programs to enhance the school
readiness of all young children, especially children from
economically disadvantaged homes and communities and children with
special needs. Well-planned and effective assessment can inform
teaching and program improvement, and contribute to better outcomes
for children. This book affirms that assessments can make crucial
contributions to the improvement of children's well-being, but only
if they are well designed, implemented effectively, developed in
the context of systematic planning, and are interpreted and used
appropriately. Otherwise, assessment of children and programs can
have negative consequences for both. The value of assessments
therefore requires fundamental attention to their purpose and the
design of the larger systems in which they are used. Early
Childhood Assessment addresses these issues by identifying the
important outcomes for children from birth to age 5 and the quality
and purposes of different techniques and instruments for
developmental assessments. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary
