This course emphasizes the importance of skillful observation when planning appropriate activities and experiences for children. The course will explore the use of informal and formal assessment strategies to plan and individualize the curriculum and teaching practices. Teacher candidates will review, use, and interpret assessment instruments to determine the ability levels of children (birth-8 years) representing “at-risk” populations, those with developmental disabilities and special abilities. The class serves as the required course in the assessment of young children/children with special needs for early childhood special education licensure. Co-requisite: EC 210.
