Should the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards be used as an assessment tool?
No. The Standards are neither a curriculum nor an assessment tool. By setting appropriate expectations for young children in the five domains of early learning and development, the Standards are intended as a guide for developing or selecting appropriate curriculum and assessment that support and promote childrens learning and development. Resources for the determination and selection of early care and education assessment can be found in the back of the Standards booklet in the Resource Section. Examples of early care and education curriculum and assessment tools are also available at: http://www.collaboratingpartners.com/Resources_assess.htm.
