Choose a Literacy-based lesson appropriate for this age group - remembering that literacy in 3K and Prek may not look like direct teaching of letters but instead in promoting the underlying skills that support children's later reading and writing:Discuss?

In this Assessment, we focus on the 3/4 YEAR OLD age range of preschool the topic of observation, documentation and assessment.

This project is grounded in the knowledge that observation is a primary mechanism for assessment in early childhood – yet it is not always carefully planned and documented as it could be.

The age group is 3/4 years old.

This should be for a general education class or an inclusion or ICT class (not a self-contained class). PreK should be a class of 15-18.

Then choose a Literacy-based lesson appropriate for this age group – remembering that literacy in 3K and Prek may not look like direct teaching of letters but instead in promoting the underlying skills that support children’s later reading and writing.

Use the NYS Early Learning Guidelines (https://www.earlychildhoodny.org/pdfs/Early_Learning_Guidlines-Revised-2020.pdf) and appropriate Prek standards (http://www.p12.nysed.gov/earlylearning/standards/documents/PK_Standards_Resource_Web_REVISED_2021.pdf) to help ensure you are creating a developmentally appropriate lesson.

Consider the templates in the module which are both lesson templates for preschool and documentation and assessment templates.

Then record a video sharing an overview of the lesson and detailing how you would plan for observation and documentation throughout the lesson. Upload the link to the video to the discussion.

Under the Assignment itself, submit an assessment and/or documentation tool that you would use (some are in the module that you may use or you can find another or create your own) to observe student learning and then provide a written rationale for this choice in addition to addressing it in your video.

Finally, fill out the Assessment Self-Assessment Tool (INCLUDED IN THE UPLOAD FILES BELOW) to analyze your approach to assessment and how you did/would provide feedback throughout the lesson.

Children should not be in the video – most videos will simply be of you in front of the camera with materials as needed. Post your video to the discussion 4 days before the due date so fellow candidates can view and offer feedback and comments
