Ashford ECE 657 Week 2 Assignment Helping Families Understand Standardized Testing

One of the most important responsibilities you have as a leader in early childhood education is making sure that families understand their child’s growth and development. Sharing assessment information with families about the standardized tests that are being used with their child is an important part of this process. “Not all standardized tests measure the same knowledge and skills. Some are designed to predict student performance, while others are designed to measure a student’s knowledge as compared to peers across the country” (Beaupré, 2002). Therefore, it is important to be proactive in explaining to parents which assessments you use and why.

For your assignment, you will create a brochure for families about the standardized assessments that you use to ensure their child is growing and developing at the appropriate rate. You may use Microsoft Word to create your brochure. Your brochure should be based on the standardized tests that are used with the age (infants/toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged) of children you plan to work with.

Your brochure must contain sections with the following guidelines:
• Choose two of the standardized assessments that are shared in Chapter 3 of your course text, Assessment

in Early Childhood Education, which are used with your chosen age group. For these two standardized tests, compare and contrast the following:

o Explainhowtheassessmentisscored.Thisincludesclearlydefiningwhethereachassessmentis norm referenced or criterion referenced.

o Describewhateachtestmeasures.Makesuretoconnectthisbacktodevelopmentaldomains.

o Explaintherolethatreliabilityandvalidityplayineachoftheseassessments.

• Explain what the two standardized tests do not measure and how you will measure these skills

• Discuss how you will report the results to families

• Provide at least three tips for families about how they can communicate with you about

concerns/questions about standardized testing.

• Include at least three standardized testing resources families can use if they want to learn more about

standardized testing. Include a one- to two-sentence description of each resource.

• Utilize at least three images that are related to standardized testing throughout your brochure to enhance

the visual appeal.
