The checklist is determining the infant's communication and feeding milestones. Each line reads what the infant may complete in that time frame of 7-9 months and during this time the parent or caretaker can check off "yes" or "no" if their child has or has not completed these milestones.]]> 2022-09-23 04:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dancerpaige2004/iaywtkt5d9ohgw1m/wish/2309921030 Benefits of Checklists: dancerpaige2004 https://padlet.com/dancerpaige2004/iaywtkt5d9ohgw1m/wish/2309921999
  • Checklists are simple, flexible, and very easy to use 
  • Requires little to no training or instruction to use them 
  • Checklists can be used as different assessment strategies 
  • Recording behaviors 

    • Educators should use checklists because of the benefits listed above but also because educators can use checklists to evaluate and gather the information that they need, combine assessment strategies, update records, and use developmental checklists as a way of communicating with the parents about what the child can work on with them.

Checklists are not used as a form of assessment itself, it can be very time-consuming and as someone new to being an educator. Teachers may feel that using checklists can be difficult to start and take their time away with their students. It is also possible to have too many checklists and it could cause overwhelm especially with multiple forms of record keeping and assessment.
    Another disadvantage is that a checklist cannot determine how a child performs skills, it can only determine only if the child can perform sufficiently.

The educator is grading based on the explanation, demonstrated knowledge, and requirements. Column 1 is the least amount of points given and the fourth column is the greatest amount of points that the student can get.]]> 2022-09-23 04:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dancerpaige2004/iaywtkt5d9ohgw1m/wish/2309923044 Benefits of Rubrics: dancerpaige2004 https://padlet.com/dancerpaige2004/iaywtkt5d9ohgw1m/wish/2309923306 Educators should use rubrics because of the benefits listed below:

    • Rubrics provide guidelines for a student's work and performance.
    • They are flexible and designed for many different uses and ability levels.
    • Rubrics can be easily modified and changed if needed based on the child's needs or the whole class's needs.
    • A teacher and student can use rubrics in order to help guide the student to complete different tasks and/or complete a final product.
    • Grades can be translated from rubrics if the educator decides to do so.

    • Holistic rubrics can lack specificity, reliability, and validity.
    • A teacher could focus on criteria that are too general or inappropriate for a rubric as well as wrong characteristics in a student's work.

The teacher completes answers to the questions in this form based on the actions the student performs. The angry/sad face represents the worst behavior and the scale continues to progress from 1-5 including the smiley face which means the child was on great behavior.]]> 2022-09-23 04:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dancerpaige2004/iaywtkt5d9ohgw1m/wish/2309924255 Benefits of Rating Scales: dancerpaige2004 https://padlet.com/dancerpaige2004/iaywtkt5d9ohgw1m/wish/2309924553 Educators should use rating scales because of the benefits listed below:

    • Rating Scales are unique and easy to use
    • Rating Scales can be used for different behavior 
    • They are not time-consuming but quick and easy to complete.
    • Rating Scales require little to no training in order to use them.
    • They are a useful way to assess a child's progress journey

    • Rating scales are highly subjunctive
    • It is a common problem to have bias and errors
    • There are no indicators for a rating
    • Rating scales can be an unreliable source of information
    • Rating scales show little to no information about behavior causes

    An educator would not want to use rating scales because of the disadvantages listed above but also because teachers can rate children based on their interactions or emotional basis that occurred previously compared to an objective basis where a teacher could base opinions on facts instead of their own personal feelings of the child. Another disadvantage of rating scales can be that the teacher uses their own judgments on the child's progress which could also be biased towards the child.
