We revised this to read that all early childhood programs will
use the ECIP form provided by the Coordinators as an
assessment tool. Teachers are encouraged to share the

Parents will understand what is being assessed through the ECIP and how they can support this work at home.
Please see the blog about the ECIP and parents.
This should be ongoing.
How have you already shared this information with parents?
What are you seeing that demonstrates parents are supporting their

"The walls talk..." All Early Childhood Programs will document and display the documentation of the children's work at least once a week.
We revised this to indicate display of documentation changing
at least monthly rather than weekly.
And boy oh boy, are these walls talking!!!
Parents, staff, custodians--everyone is noticing what the children are doing.
I'm wondering how that work can be spread and shared
throughout the Central community.
Fabulous work everyone. Keep it up!!!
I'm wondering what you're learning from
each other's documentation in the halls.
I hope you're taking an opportunity to visit upstairs
if you live downstairs and vice versa.
Perhaps this wall talking and wall walking would be
a good topic for a lunch bunch or study circle.
Also, in the Innovations publication that is circulating among
teachers, there is an excellent article on documentation.
Finally, at Central, we have a brand spanking new
IMAC computer which is hooked up to a brand
spanking new laser printer. You can hook up your
not so brand spanking new cameras to the IMAC and
print out pictures on the laser printer--easy as pie!
What you need to do this is to have your SLP user name
and password. If you don't have one, check with Mary O'.
"How do you know what you know?" is a question that will be answered in the documentation.

Again, I'm seeing lots of this on the talking walls.

Powerschool!
As I write, Marilyn is entering all early childhood classes
into Powerschool. Your ECIP data will go in there
and you can enter it yourself, if you would like.
Marilyn is also pleased to train anyone interested.
If you have been trained on Powerschool, there is a
possibility I can obtain a laptop for you to use
in your classroom while you are entering ECIP data.

I want to read your comments on how you are honoring this essential agreement!

Agreement #2 is easy for us because that's what we've been doing for the past several years.
We send out a little note about the ECIP form so parents know what the are looking at, and what they are not looking at (for example, an In Progress does not mean the child can't do it, it just means that we are not seeing them use that skill consistently).
As for the talking walls, we get such great feedback from parents, both ours and others passing by. Displaying what we are learning in the hall provides more opportunities for the kids to share with their parents and for parents to ask specific questions of the children. The kids are proud to see their work displayed and it helps keep us on the ball because we know people are looking to see what we are doing! I also love walking around to see what other classes are learning about.
Thanks for letting us know what you're doing! Mary O'
