Full Description
Part of the 5-volume Introduction to Early Childhood Education series, this volume views the effective teacher as someone who skilfully observes, records and assesses the behaviour of children and then uses this information to construct developmentally-appropriate activities and lessons. The focus throughout is informal teacher assessment rather than formal testing and on using those assessments to develop programmes and lessons that are aligned with children's developmental levels.
