Sharing Web Resources


              I decided to reflect a little further on the website National Institute for Early Education Alliance. This website expands on topics such as Assessments, Economics and Fianance, English Language Learners, Government and Accountability, Quality and Curriculum, Special Education, State Pre K Evaluations, and much, much more. Within this site I decided to go a little further and access their section on Assessment and Preschool Assessments and how they are professionally performed. Professor Shannon Riley-Ayers from San Antonio Association for the Education of Young children (SAAEYC) talks about formative assessments and the Early Learning Scale. Many of the studies preformed are to evaluate a preschool child’s readiness to enter into kindergarten. While searching this website I did learn how important these issues of quality and excellence is too the field of early learning. Assessments is an effective way to find out where changes need to be made and what kind of changes should be made to certain materials used in the early learning classroom. While searching further I noticed some more information  that discussed the importance of inclusion in the early learning setting noticed an and when this is a part of the environment it makes for a more effective learning environment.
