Farewell post

"Children need models rather than critics"
                                          Joseph Joubert



This quote mean a lot to me because, so many time we as adult forgets that children are watching us. Instead of judging and criticising them , why not model what we would like for them to do.

Thank you all for reading and commenting on my blogs.  It has been fun sharing information, and learning new information as well.  The best part about sharing is that different people can give you a different insight or take on a subject.  Good luck to all in this class and all of your future endeavors.

Assessing Young Children

The best way to monitor children learning is to assess them.  When a child is assessed or measured, their development and progress should be looked at.  Children learns at different rates but along the same guidelines.  If their development is being tracked, early intervention can take place if the child is behind.  If no action is needed at the time, then a child should still be assessed but later, to see is their development is still on track.

In Asia children are assessed by using portfolios, test, quizzes, and by self and peer assessment. Multiple measurements taken across time provide a more comprehensive picture is students ability to use Chinese for meaniful purpose than would an assessment scheme that focuses on students ability as measured by test and quizzes alone.
