4. Describe how you plan to engage families in the learning activities. Specify the
following:
a. Communication: identify communication strategies to inform families about the

b. Resources: Identify two resources from the community and families that you plan

aimed at extending and engaging the families in their children’s learning
experiences.
5. Implement your learning activities and maintain a record of the children’s responses to
instruction.
Part 5: Analysis of Student Learning (NAEYC 3a, 3b, 3c, 4b) (15 points) (Due week 7)
1. Administer your post-assessment. Collect and analyze student data to identify learning
gains based on your instruction. Assessment data are to be provided in a graphical format
that allows comparison of the student performance before and after instruction.
To maintain the privacy of students, assign a number or letter for an
identifier, e.g., Child A. identify each item in the post-test that relates to the learning
objectives and calculate in percentages how many students met the target objective.
2. Based on the data collected, provide a table describing the results per each learning
objective for the whole group (See sample in the appendix section of your syllabus).
Describe what the data reveals about the results of instruction (What does the data say
about achievement for each of the learning objectives? Which ones were met? Which
ones were not? What percentage of students met each learning objective?).
3. Identify the outcomes for subgroups. To create a subgroup, identify a group characteristic
such gender, language level or age level, prior preschool experience. Select one of the
learning objectives and in a table format, present the results of the assessments for this
subgroup. Include a narrative describing the outcomes.
4. Choose two students and analyze their results. In a narrative describe the level of
achievement obtained by each student.
5. Select and include at least two examples of the student’s work and attach these as an
appendix to your report.
Use the chart below to collect data, adding enough rows so that all students are
represented.

e. Considering the results for students who showed difficulties, what adaptations or
specialized services would you need to improve learning?
f. Based on the results of the assessments, what would you do differently to improve
learning?
g. Considering the alignment of learning objectives with activities and assessment,
