Assessment in Early
Childhood Care and
Education
Sustainable Early Childhood Care through
Assessment
With more and more focus on accountability and standards a lot of effort
has been placed on assessment at the primary, secondary and tertiary
levels, with very little attention to what happens in early childhood. Just
like a house needs a sound foundation in order to withstand the test of
time, so assessment at early childhood needs your support. Carefully
planned and executed assessment can lay the foundation for future
intervention, critical to your child’s survival. Drawing from over 40 years
experience and having written at all levels of the education system; pre-
primary, primary, secondary, higher education and adult education, the
author provides you with strategic, comprehensive, multi-sourced, purpose
driven assessment instruments that are culturally, linguistically and
individually appropriate and would provide ongoing information about
your children across developmental domains. This is the most practical
‘how-to’, ‘go-to’, ‘turn-back-the-clock’ book for early childhood providers,
caregivers, practitioners, specialists, administrators, parents, guardians and
significant others.
