Activity-Based Assessment Manual: Observe, Play, and Measure Learning

This 21-page manual helps early childhood educators assess learning during familiar activities rather than relying on a single score. Plan observable learning indicators, record what children do and say, note accuracy and support needed, and use the evidence to choose meaningful next steps. Includes a reusable observation setup form for documenting a learning goal and indicator. Reach for it before, during, and after play or classroom activities to guide feedback and progress tracking.
