Learning objectives include:

  3. Explain the importance of using observation and assessment to inform instructional practices and support children’s individual needs and strengths.
  4. Evaluate the effectiveness of different assessment tools and techniques, including developmental screening and diagnostic assessments, for identifying children’s needs and progress.
  5. Create and implement action plans based on observation and assessment data to support children’s learning and development in different domains (e.g., physical, cognitive, social-emotional, communication and language).
