Your Personal Research Journey

My topic for my simulation is Issues and Challenges in Early Childhood Assessments.  Educators can learn a lot from assessments.  Assessments results can improve curriculum and the classroom learning experiences.  I  chose this topic because it is dear to me because Assessment testing help me to learn my own children educational delays.  My daughter had an articulate delay and my son is ADHD.  Their teachers and I was able to come up with educational plans to help them to achieve educational goals.

The research chart was very informative tool.  The chart help you to slow down and focus on looking up information that you need to complete a research paper.  To my colleagues if you have any suggestions for the topic: How can the influence of assessment testing  help with early learning standards. Please feel free to respond to my blog.

Machelle,
Assessment testing is an excellent topic! I think many children often struggle in school because they are not properly assessed. Testing is also sometimes inaccurate, because a child may be really good at reading, but the test results may show that they need to work on their reading comprehension. Thus, it is often difficult to predict a child's ability in a particular subject.
My suggestion would be to look at teaching organization websites or find sources related to the challenges of standardized testing and other types of assessments. Sounds like a broad topic, so you may want to narrow it down to finding out what specific challenges occur during education assessments, or the challenges teachers may face when assessing children. There is a lot of information on this topic, and I wish you the best! :)

Machelle,
Assessment in early childhood is indeed a great topic. It is also vital as many educators still view assessment as only pen and paper tests. Research in this area is needed to inform teachers about the various ways that assessment can be conducted. It is also good to learn of your passion based on your personal experience. I shall keep this topic in mind and inform you of any resources relevant to your topic that I may come across.
