Formative Assessment in Preschool Settings

The document discusses assessment practices in a preschool setting. It provides responses to questions about the types of assessments used, how they are implemented, who is involved, and how results are documented and communicated. Formative assessments through observations are conducted during class activities, while summative assessments like tests are given at the end of periods to evaluate development. Assessments are implemented through teacher observations of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities and tests at week's end. Results are documented through profiles and photos of children's work, which are shared with parents. The school provides assessment tools like checklists and exams to evaluate goal attainment.
