When using assessments with young children, it is important to make sure that they are being used appropriately and with a specific purpose in mind. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an important resource to use as you are making decisions about assessment in early childhood. According to Howard, V. F., & Aiken, E. ( 2015), “NAEYC takes the position that assessment in ECE is not only unique and valuable but also vital to implementing developmentally appropriate practices and the success of individual children, their families, ECE professionals, and ECE programs” (p. 60). Developmentally, young children have distinct needs when it comes to assessment, as the traditional paper/pencil assessment is not appropriate. Therefore, it is important that assessment in early childhood is approached in a developmentally responsive manner, always considering the individual needs of this age group. For this discussion you will reflect on the similarities and differences between assessment with older children and assessment in early childhood, and explore the unique ways in which assessment in early childhood is conducted.

Include the following in your discussion post:

• Explain why it is necessary to approach assessment in early childhood differently than assessment with older children.
  • In what ways are assessments similar, regardless of the age of the children?
  • In what ways are assessments in early childhood different?
• Identify how play-based, project-based, and child-directed learning support the implementation of developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood.
• Compare and contrast your personal stance on assessment with that of either NAEYCor the Division for Early Childhood (DEC). In what ways do they align? In what ways do they differ? Use Chapter 2 of the course textbook to support your response.
• Determine what, in your opinion, the role of families is in the assessment-learning process. Thinking about the age of children you desire to work with and the unique needs of that age group, how do you envision working with families during the assessment process? Provide specific examples.

*You must properly cite and reference the course text in every discussion. A citation is a parenthetical note within the body of your response. It comes after a direct quote or a paraphrase. A reference comes at the end of your response and refers to the required reading or material.*

Narrative Essay

This essay explores the narrative mode, which is perhaps the most natural style of writing for most people. The narrative form has much in common with fiction or creative writing, in that it relies on descriptive language, dialogue, and dramatic action to present its story.

Much like it is in fiction writing, the goal of the narrative form is to allow readers to feel as if they are not simply reading someone else’s story, but that they are somehow part of it.

Unlike telling a story, the narrative form has a specific piece of information to share and uses the elements we discussed in the Expository Writing chapter to deliver that message.

In this essay, you will be asked to write about a specific event in your life that will engage readers, and that will, at the same time, help them to understand the importance of the message you are relating, or, argument you are making.

Chapter 4 Exercise 2

2. As the head of a thrift bank you will only have so
much money on hand. It is very important to make sure that it is possible to
have access to the funds that you need. When something like interest rates
being low happens, it is important to make sure that there is a process of
allowing supply to be there. What that means is that when there is a demand for
money sometimes there is a need to make sure that the supply is available to be
able to keep up with the demand. What that means is that there needs to be a
borrowing from a central bank. It would be the necessary to make sure that
there was going to be the help of a central bank to meet the needs. That means
that the owner of the bank would need to reach out to ensure that there was
going to be enough money.
