    instruction and to evaluate childrens
    performance on the same objectives
    After the planned activities, children are
    assessed to determine how well they learned
    Evaluation is achieved through observation
    during the activities, and through specific
    assessment tasks

    DISADVANTAGES OF USING
    CHECKLISTS
    Can be time consuming
    Teachers find it difficult to adapt teaching and
    evaluation behaviors to include checklists
    If there are too many checklists, the teacher
    can be overwhelmed with assessment and
    record keeping
    Teachers may not consider assessments with
    checklists as valid measures
    Checklists do not indicate how well a child
    performs

    DEVELOPING QUALITY CHECKLISTS

    1. Identify each action desired in the performance.


    2. Add actions that are common errors (if they are
    useful, limited in number, and clearly stated).
    3. Arrange the desired actions (and likely errors, if
    used) in the order they are expected to occur.
    4. Provide a simple procedure for checking each
    action as it occurs.
