According to Wortham (2012), “Teachers must be able to design their own tests to evaluate their own or individual learning objectives most effectively” (p.189). For this discussion, you will need to choose one of the children either Ryan Weaver or Bradley Tompkins to write your assessment on. “Developmental Checklists Birth to Five.” This link will show the assessment done by both children, choose one child. You are to find an area that the child you chose, is struggling with. You are then to create an assessment test to give a learning expierience to the child you choose.
Using this child and the domain of your choice from The Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework domains listed below, create a developmentally appropriate assessment that assesses one of the standards within that domain.
Also, remember not all assessments are paper and pencil tests so feel free to be creative with your assessment. For example, if you are creating an assessment on shapes you might have the students draw the names of the shapes you say, identify examples of the shapes in the room, or match a picture of the shape to its name.

Make sure your assessment also includes a clearly stated objective that utilizes Bloom’s Taxonomy Action Verbs and what would constitute mastery. Also, make sure to include a brief description of the accommodations you may need to make for ELL or students with special needs.
Please read the instructions carefully. You are creating an assessment for Ryan Weaver or Bradley Tompkins.
I HAVE ALSO PROVIDED THREE EXAMPLES OF WHAT STUDENTS POSTED AS THEIR ANSWERS IN THE DISCUSSION BOARD. THIS IS TO HELP OUT, PLEASE DO NOT COPY THE EXAMPLES AS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED PLAIGARISIM.
I HAVE ALSO ADDED THE PDF FILE FOR THE CHECKLIST FROM BIRTH TO FIVE, SINCE THE ATTACHMENT ISNT WORKING
