Child Screening and Assessment
Screening and assessment provide valuable information about each child's interests, strengths, and needs. Screening gives a snapshot of whether the child's development is on track. Assessment is an ongoing process that includes observation and provides information about development over time. Systematic, ongoing child assessment provides information on children's development and learning. It helps inform curriculum planning, teaching, and individualizing for each child across all Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework domains.
Learning from Assessment (LFA) Toolkit
The LFA Toolkit is a collection of presentations, handouts, guided practice exercises, and descriptions of additional resources designed to support program staff in enhancing, conducting, and interpreting child assessments. It builds upon the assessment knowledge and expertise programs already possess, and the materials can be used selectively to design trainings that will meet programs' particular needs.

Presentations for Managers

The presentation includes information on how to set up assessment systems, support teachers' assessment activities, and how to use assessment information to make decisions.
Presentations for Teachers

Guided Practices
This component of the Toolkit contains exercises intended for use by managers and education coordinators in training sessions with teachers.
