early childhood performance assessment
Definition
- Performance assessments refer to methods that allow children to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, dispositions, and other aspects of development and expression through solving problems, acting on their environments, interacting with individuals in their settings, experimenting, talking, moving, and so forth. These assessments are formative: They provide information that can be used both to change the process of teaching and to keep track of children's progress and accomplishments.
