Early Childhood Recommended Practices Module 7: Assessment

Introduction to Intensive Intervention

Term	Definition	Reference/Resource
Authentic assessment	“… the systematic recording of developmental observations over time about the naturally occurring behaviors and functional competencies of young children in daily routines by familiar and knowledgeable caregivers in the child’s life” (p. 29).	Bagnato, S. J., & Yeh-Ho, H. (2006). High-stakes testing with preschool children: Violation of professional standards for evidence-based practice in early childhood intervention. International Journal of Educational Policy, 3(1), 2343.
Child-initiated routines and activities	Routines and activities that children initiate themselves, as opposed to routines and activities that are initiated and directed by adults.	Schweinhart, L. (2016). Child initiated learning. In D. Couchenour & J. Chrisman (Eds.), The sage encyclopedia of contemporary early childhood education (pp. 231233). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. doi: 10.4135/9781483340333.n61
Culturally and linguistically responsive and affirming	Approaches that empower individuals intellectually, socially, emotionally, and politically by using cultural and historical referents to convey knowledge, to impart skills, and to change attitudes. Such approaches involve consciously creating social interactions to help individuals meet the criteria of academic success, cultural competence, and critical consciousness and include creating individual-centered learning environments that affirm cultural identities; foster positive learning outcomes; develop children’s abilities to connect across lines of difference; elevate historically marginalized voices; empower children as agents of social change; and contribute to individual child engagement, learning, growth, and achievement through the cultivation of critical thinking. These approaches challenge norms (e.g., expectations regarding language, behavior, social interactions) in order to be responsive to marginalized children and families and work towards greater equity.	http://www.nysed.gov/commo n/nysed/files/programs/crs/cult urally-responsive-sustaining education-framework.pdf DEC RP Glossary: Barrera, I., Corso, R., & Macpherson, D. (2003). Skilled dialogue: Strategies for responding to cultural diversity in early childhood. Baltimore: Paul H. Brookes. Ladson-Billings, G. (2014). Culturally relevant pedagogy 2.0: Aka the remix. Harvard Educational Review, 84(1), 74-84.
Developmentally appropriate practice	An approach to intervention and instruction whereby an early childhood professional bases decisions about children’s developmental and learning goals and experiences on (a) knowledge of child development and learning in order to determine experiences likely to promote positive outcomes, (b) knowledge of each child’s individual abilities and characteristics to adapt and be responsive for each child, and (c) knowledge of children’s social, linguistic, and cultural contexts to ensure that learning experiences are relevant and respectful for each child and family.	Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) Position Statement \| NAEYC
DEC Recommended Practices (RPs)	A set of practices based on the best available empirical evidence as well as the wisdom and experience of the field that were developed to guide EI/ECSE professionals and families about the most effective ways to improve the learning outcomes and promote the development of young children, birth through five years of age, who have or are at-risk for developmental delays or disabilities in eight topic areas: Leadership, Assessment, Environment, Family, Instruction, Interaction, Teaming and collaboration, and Transition	Division for Early Childhood. (2014). DEC recommended practices in early intervention/early childhood special education 2014. Retrieved from https://www.dec-sped.org/dec-recommended-practices
Evidence-based practice	Used as a Noun - Practices that are based on the best available empirical research that documents the practice’s efficacy with young children and families; the wisdom and knowledge of the field; and the core guiding values, beliefs, and theoretical approaches of EI/ECSE. Used as a Verb – The process for selecting and implementing practices that weigh research evidence; family and professional wisdom and values; and the individual characteristics, strengths, and needs of a child.	Odom, S. L., & Wolery, M. (2003). A unified theory of practice in early intervention/early childhood special education: Evidence-based practices. The Journal of Special Education, 37(3), 164173. Buysse, V., Wesley, P. W., Snyder, P., & Winton, P. (2006). Evidence-based practice: What does it really mean for the early childhood field? Young Exceptional Children, 9(4), 2-11.
Family	A child’s consistent (i.e., primary) caregiver(s) who have responsibility for the child’s well-being and development and who are partners in the child’s education and intervention. This may include a variety of individuals, including, but not limited to, the child’s biological, adoptive, or foster parent(s), legal guardians, siblings, grandparents, other relatives, and others within the child’s primary support network.	Mapp, K., & Kuttner, P. J. (2013). Partners in education: A dual capacity-building framework for family-school partnerships. Austin, TX: Southwest Educational Development Lab. Turnbull, A. P., Turnbull, R., Erwin, E. J., Soodak, L. C., & Shogren, K. A. (2015). Families, professionals, and exceptionality: Positive outcomes through partnerships and trust. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson.
Family capacity-building practices	Participatory opportunities and experiences afforded to families to strengthen existing parenting knowledge and skills, and promote the development of new parenting abilities that enhance parenting self-efficacy beliefs and practices and are guided by families’ strengths and needs; priorities, goals, and preferences; and cultural and linguistic characteristics.	Division for Early Childhood. (2014). DEC recommended practices in early intervention/early childhood special education 2014. Retrieved from https://www.decsped.org/recommendedpractices
Functional behavior assessment	Collection of data to investigate the environmental variables maintaining and/or contributing to challenging behavior. A functional assessment includes systematically identifying the challenging behavior, events that precede such behavior (antecedents), and events that maintain such behavior (consequences) with results used to identify, plan, implement, and support others to implement individual behavior support plans.	Dunlap, G., & Fox, L. (2011). Function-based interventions for children with challenging behavior. Journal of Early Intervention, 33(4), 333-343.
High Leverage Practices (HLPs)	Practices that are based on best-available research evidence and field consensus, reflect practices that are frequently used in the classroom, and are considered critical for special educators, kindergarten through twelfth grade, because of their high potential to improve student outcomes, and which can be taught in teacher preparation programs.	McLeskey, J., Billingsley, B., Brownell, M. T., Maheady, L., & Lewis, T. J. (2019). What are high-leverage practices for special education teachers and why are they important? Remedial and Special Education, 40(6), 331337. https://doi.org/10.1177/0741932518773477
Instruction	A set of practices that are evidence-based, intentional, and systematic, and support development and learning for all young children across developmental and content domains. Instruction includes the intentional structuring of children’s environments and learning experiences as well as methods used to teach a curriculum. Instruction is used across natural environments and inclusive settings in collaboration with families and other professionals.	Wolery, M. (2012). Voices from the field. Young Exceptional Children, 15(4), 41-44. Boat, M., Dinnebeil, L., & Bae, Y. (2010). Individualizing instruction in preschool classrooms. Dimensions of Early Childhood, 38 (1), 4-10. Division for Early Childhood. (2015). DEC recommended practices glossary. Retrieved from https://divisionearlychildhood. egnyte.com/dl/facKSfYlFI/
Intervention	A set of strategies that are evidence-based, individualized, and support specific individualized developmental and learning objectives across natural environments and inclusive settings in collaboration with families and other professionals.	Wolery, M. (2004). Using assessment information to plan intervention programs. In M. McLean, M., Wolery, & D. B. Bailey, Jr. (Eds.), Assessing infants and preschoolers with special needs (pp. 517-544). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson. Division for Early Childhood. (2015). DEC recommended practices glossary. Retrieved from https://divisionearlychildhood. egnyte.com/dl/facKSfYlFI/
Play	A distinct developmental domain is characterized by activities with objects and people that capture a child’s attention and interest as they experiment, try new ideas and roles, investigate laws of nature, and represent what they know about and are learning from ongoing events. As a context for learning, play skills can be operationalized, and predicted, and a focus of intervention and instruction with children’s learning goals embedded in indoor and outdoor play activities.	Brown, S. L. (2009). Play: How it shapes the brain, opens the imagination, and invigorates the soul. Penguin. Barton, E. E., & Wolery, M. (2008). Teaching pretend play to children with disabilities: A review of the literature. Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 28(2), 109-125. doi: 10.1177/0271121408318799 Lifter, K., Mason, E.

Strength-based	*Approaches that concentrate on the inherent strengths* of children and their families**. It is a philosophy and a way of viewing children and their families as resourceful, resilient, and self-determined.	Green, B. L., McAllister, C. L., & Tarte, J. M. (2004). The strengths-based practices inventory: A tool for measuring strengths-based service delivery in early childhood and family support programs. Families in Society, 85(3), 326-334.

Let’s go to the alligator! 🐊

I just love this little one, who hasn’t quite mastered the nuanced distinction between an “alligator” and an “elevator.”

These kinds of linguistic substitutions are very common among toddlers - sometimes because they’re still working to master
