Chapter Based-Project Assignment: Assessment Plan
Objective: To create an assessment plan for preschoolers.
Scenario: You are a preschool teacher and a new school year is about to start. You plan to have the
students keep portfolios of their art in order to assess their developmental progress.
Focus Assignment:
1. Create a plan in which you outline how you will implement this assessment strategy, specifically
mentioning how often students’ work will be added to their portfolios, how work will be selected, where
the portfolio will be stored, and why the portfolios will be important for your teaching.
2. Be sure to read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write your self-
evaluation after you have completed your plan.
3. Review the assessment rubric to see how your assignment and self-evaluation will be graded.
Self-Evaluation:
1. For each element of your assessment plan:
a. Explain how this element addresses the issues in the scenario.
b. Give evidence from the chapter supporting this element (with citations).
2. Describe and justify how your assessment plan will improve teaching and learning in the scenario.
