It's such a big hit! The lamination packet has been used greatly.

My youngest learners in kindergarten and first grade like to stand on them and bounce while they do their phonemic awareness activities. The older students in 3rd-5th grade simply like a place to rest their feet and move without fear of being reprimanded for needing the sensory input that motion provides.\r\n\r\nI appreciate Donors Choose and the many donors who make projects like mine possible.

The AEPs Early Childhood Assessment tool will have a profound impact on our ability to collect accurate and meaningful data on children's developmental milestones. In early childhood education, having a reliable and comprehensive assessment system is crucial for tracking progress, identifying strengths, and recognizing areas where children may need additional support. With this tool, we can systematically document each child's development across key domains, such as cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and language skills. By utilizing a structured and research-based approach, we ensure that our assessments reflect a true picture of each child's abilities, helping educators make data-driven decisions that lead to effective teaching strategies and individualized learning experiences.\r\n\r\nBeyond tracking developmental progress, this assessment tool will play a vital role in identifying children with disabilities and developmental delays. Early identification is essential to ensuring that children receive the interventions and support they need as soon as possible. The AEPs tool provides a clear and detailed framework for recognizing when a child is not meeting expected milestones, allowing educators, specialists, and families to collaborate in developing an appropriate plan for intervention. By using a data-driven approach, we can minimize the risk of children slipping through the cracks and ensure that those with developmental concerns receive timely and targeted support.\r\n\r\nThe implementation of this assessment tool will ultimately lead to more effective, developmentally appropriate interventions that foster student success. By having access to reliable data, educators can tailor instruction, modify learning environments, and integrate strategies that address the specific needs of each child. Whether it's providing additional scaffolding in early literacy, implementing social-emotional learning activities, or adapting materials to support motor development, having a thorough understanding of a child's developmental profile allows us to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment. This project will empower our educators to make informed instructional decisions, promote equity in learning, and ensure that all students have the opportunity to thrive in the school setting.","fullyFundedDate":1741048400881,"projectUrl":"project/early-childhood-special-education-assess/8922304/","projectTitle":"Early Childhood Special Education Assessment and Curriculum Tool","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McElfresh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6189171_orig.jpg?crop=2971,2971,x20,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730844398902","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6189171"},{"teacherId":2577128,"projectId":8855330,"letterContent":"This project has been huge in meeting the needs of our students.
