Authentic Assessment

Bridging makes a significant contribution to formative assessment of young children's learning. The protocols look not simply at achievement but also at the child's affect and have built in a developmental scale that recognizes the importance of process and continuous growth. It also recognizes that each child has her or his unique profile of strengths and challenges--we do children a disservice by looking only for performance in mathematics, for example, without seeing how it maps with emerging literacy skills.
