Strength-Based Feedback and
Goal-Setting Sessions
Early Childhood Specialists Professional Development--October
Think of a time when someone in authority shared their advice with you.
How well did you know them?What approach did they use? Directive?
Laissez-Faire?What did you like about the experience?What didn’t you like?
Opening Activity
How does this relate to your work as an ECS?What parallels do you see?Share with a partner.

Increasing the Quality and Use of Child Assessment Data
Setting Child Assessment Goals
Item: IV D. Anecdotal note taking by staff Staff record and discuss anecdotal notes about children
daily.
Notes are objective and reflect what children are doing and saying throughout the day.
Notes focus on children's strengths (what children are doing).
Staff use anecdotal notes to plan for individual children.
Staff share anecdotal information with parents.
What’s in the PQA?
Item: IV E. Use of child observation measureStaff use a child observation measure that is of
proven reliability and validity (e.g., the Preschool Child Observation Record (COR), Work Sampling).
Staff use a child observation measure twice a year or more often to assess children's developmental progress.
What’s in the PQA?
GOALS are always teacher goals related to:
Teacher Data Methods (focus today)
Data Driven Decision Making (focus at February PD)
Types of Child Assessment Goals
3-Tier Hierarchy of Methods

Item: IV E. Use of child observation measureStaff use a child observation measure that is of proven

more often to assess children's developmental progress.
What’s in the PQA?Collection, Sharing, Quality, Use
Staff use anecdotal notes to plan for individual children.Row 4: Are there sufficient anecdotes to
complete each child assessment item, across all developmental domains?
Row 4: For a child with an IEP, is there assessment information from the specialist(s)? Is there documentation of collaborative planning to meet the child’s needs?
PQA Documentation Notes
Staff share anecdotal information with parents. Row 5: A high quality program will be able to
provide specific examples of staff partnering with parents on developmental goals for home and school.
PQA Documentation Notes
Staff use a child observation measure that is of proven reliability and validity Row 1: Are child assessment data aggregated
by classroom and by program three times each year?

EXAMPLEData Collection and Sharing
anecdotes are written- no data yet in online COR
Why? SMART Goal EXAMPLE:
Beginning November 6, both teachers will enter and score at least 30 anecdotes a week onto the online COR so that data is complete in the system by the end of Time 1 and can be analyzed and reported.
Brainstorm SMART Goal Examples Based on PQA Evidence
Teacher MethodsData Collection and Sharing
team writes anecdotes during the weekreviewed records for the month (anecdotes were
written on 10/5, 10/7, 10/13, 10/14, 10/15, 10/19, 10/21, 10/28, 10/29)
both teachers record daily anecdotes and discuss on Fridays
teachers print out the “Your Child’s Developmental Profile” with parents and review during PTCs
Brainstorm SMART Goal Examples Based on PQA Evidence
Teacher MethodsData Quality
50% batch anecdotes- void of individual differences (i.e. “during planning time children made patterns
with pegs and then said where they were going to work”)
Data Useteachers get lesson planning ideas from
anecdotes(based on children’s interests not based on ability
levels)
Brainstorm SMART Goal Examples Based on PQA Evidence

like this?) Action Planning (what should we do to create
change?)Implementation (just do it!) Monitoring (how are children responding to
the actions?)Evaluation (did it work?)

EvaluationWas there change (how do you know?)
Data Driven Decision Making
GOAL- Support children’s ability to explain the reason behind an emotion (Level 3 on COR)
Possible actions:Model using “because” when talking about emotionsDuring 6- steps of conflict resolution, after listening to
their problem, go back to their emotion (connecting the reason for that emotion)
When children talk about their emotions, use active listening
At small group time, read stories that include children expressing emotions and discuss the reasons
What is the SMART goal?
