| Abstract: | It is necessary for teachers to consider alternative means of evaluating their students. One method proving to be effective
for gathering and organizing student productivity, growth, and development is the portfolio approach. This article describes
the Early Childhood Portfolio Assessment Preparation (ECPAP) Model that was used to facilitate the use of student portfolios
in two different early childhood education programs. The goals of the model, the six steps followed and the participants'
responses to this project are discussed. This article may serve early childhood directors and supervisors who are preparing
teachers to implement student portfolios as a supplement or an alternative to the existing assessment and evaluation programs.
Also early childhood teacher education students can benefit from the design and implementation of ECPAP. |
