Reflective Analysis of Portfolio Artifact

Rationale/Reflection
NAEYC Standard:
STANDARD 3. OBSERVING, DOCUMENTING, AND ASSESSING TO SUPPORT YOUNG CHILDREN
AND FAMILIES
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs understand that child observation, documentation, and
other forms of assessment are central to the practice of all early childhood professionals. They know about and
understand the goals, benefits, and uses of assessment. They know about and use systematic observations,
documentation, and other effective assessment strategies in a responsible way, in partnership with families and
other professionals, to positively influence the development of every child. (NAEYC, 2010)

Brief Description of Evidence:


During the summer of 2013 during my ECED 235 Early Childhood Preschool Practicum course, I
worked individually to spend a large amount of hours in a preschool classroom where I observed a particular
child to document his developmental growth. Partnering with families and other professionals, environment
changes and focusing on the childs individual goals were important objectives in completing the child case
study. In addition to completing assessments through checklists and anecdotal notes, observations and
documenting the different learning areas, I created a portfolio of individual work the child had created
throughout my time in the classroom.

Analysis of What I Learned:


Through completion of this field experience I learned the importance of focusing on every child and
creating a relationship with families and other important people involved in the childs life. Through this artifact
I have learned how to make changes to a childs way of interacting and focusing on the particular moment at
hand. Through documentation, observations and time assessing the childs interaction within the environment
and the child involved, I learned activities and educational time with one on one time with the child can help
build a positive influence on the child.

How This Artifact Demonstrates my Competence on the NAEYC Standard:


This project demonstrated my competence in the NAEYC standard by giving insight to my use of
assessments, including the goals and benefits for which I focused on the childs developmental stages and social
interaction. Through spending time in the classroom with a child individually, my teaching practices can be set
to a new standard of developmentally appropriate learning for young children and will positively influence each
childs development and learning by providing him/her with well-rounded hands on experiences that promote
learning from all domains. This including the help of outside sources and partnerships with the families and
other professionals will assist me in implementing a developmentally appropriate curriculum based upon my
assessment data.
