2.  Formative assessment
The “Look What I Can Do” checklist
is an instrument designed to
communicate the summation of
classroom assessment information.
This checklist is linked to each
classroom`s weekly unit and aligns
with the Curriculum Map and Scope
& Sequence. The recorded
information is based on work
samples, anecdotal notes,
photographs, recordings, weekly
assessments, and other
developmentally appropriate
instruments. It is used by D.R.E.A.M
providers to positively affect the
cognitive, social, physical and
language development of young
children.
What is Monitored:
 Physical Growth/Motor Development
– ability to move and control body
 Social/Personal Development –
social skills, interaction with others,
and self-esteem

3.  Emotional Development – growth
and development of feelings
 Cognitive/Language Development –
mental growth and development,
including language and literacy,
math, and science
Integrated with the curriculum
activities is a uniform, validated
assessment tool for observing and
continual tracking of children’s
development and school readiness
in their most natural setting – at
play. This assessment tool makes it
easy for teachers to record and
access observations made during
daily, play-based activities. Based
on observations by the teacher,
the “Look What I Can
Do” assessment tool helps
educators track the developmental
age of children and identify children
who need extra attention as early
as possible, then apply appropriate
interventions, maximizing school
readiness.
The “Look What I Can Do” reporting
features make it easy for teachers
to document their observations by
preparing and printing out a wide

4. range of developmental summaries
and progress reports for both their
class and individual children.
Flexibility in these reporting options
means that full information can be
provided to teachers while allowing
parents to see selected reports.
This system gives early childhood
programs a competitive edge by
combining accountability, targeted
learning experiences, and parent
involvement into an integrated
resource that can promote school
readiness.
