Assessments

Assessments are very important to the development of children.  Educators must be diligent in assessing children so that their needs may be met.  Although assessments can be biased if not conducted correctly, they are very useful when measuring the development of a child from a holistic perspective.

It is very important to in the identification of a child's strengths and weaknesses so that the child is placed in the appropriate setting in order to have rewarding education experience.  I believe every child can learn however, we as educators, must solve the puzzles that lie ahead of us that will open the door to the individual child's desire to learn.

I enjoy seeing children as they learn new things.  It is almost as if they have just opened a gift at Christmas!  Their eyes grow wide as they move to the edges of their seats.  Children are like sponges.  They soak up information and thirst for more which is why it is important to fill them with good information that will help shape their personalities and give them positive experiences in life.
