Objectives
- Explain characteristics of a research-informed observation and assessment cycle that support ways to conduct equitable observation processes and to inform teaching decisions that promote positive outcomes for each child.
- Evaluate current observation and assessment practices to determine if they are biased, cause harm, or lack cultural responsiveness and determine needed adaptations that promote strength-based, equitable observation and assessment.
- Develop an action plan to improve equitable observation and assessment practices based on cultural knowledge; the strengths, competencies, and the capacities of children; and family, peer, and community partnerships.
