Responsive Teaching, Practice & Assessment in the Early Years - Student Supports

"The Responsive Teaching, Practice & Assessment in Early Learning Programs document has been created in response to a need expressed by educators for supporting and responding to the varying needs of children in early learning programs. This document is intended to:

• unify a variety of early learning documents available in Saskatchewan;

• provide a process to identify and respond to the diverse needs of children ages 3-6 in early learning programs;

• enhance assessment literacy of educators and how assessment evidence can be used to inform practices and programming;

• identify responsive supports and examples of targeted and/or small group supports;

• help educators create an inventory of community-based supports and services for children and heir families; and,

• provide support and clarification for administrators with respect to indicators of quality and how to support educators." (p.2)
