Assignment:
Blog: Policies and National Regulations and Standards for Early Childhood Education
Most countries have national regulations and standards for early childhood education, often broken down by state or region. Others may only have outlines or suggestions for assessment. Early childhood educators need to be aware of their country and/or state/region standards and those set forth by NAEYC in order to know what is expected of them as professionals.
For this Assignment, you will examine your country/region/state standards and compare these to NAEYC principals of child development and NBPTS Standard V: Assessing Children's Development and Learning. As you analyze and compare, begin considering how the standards could be improved to better align with NAEYC and NBPTS standards.
Note: Students may opt to select a state or country/region other than their own. The objective here is to examine existing standards and generate suggestions for improvement.
To prepare:
• Review your country/region/state website on early learning guidelines/regulations/policies and assessment requirements.
• Then, review the materials from Discussion 1 and 2. Compare and contrast your country/region/state policies and standards regarding assessment with NAEYC principles of child development and learning that inform practice and NBPTS Standard V.
As a communication and collaboration tool in this course, you will be asked to develop blog posts of your own and get used to reading and commenting on the blogs of your peers.

• Summarize in 1 page your state's policies and standards for Early Childhood Education. Link the source of your information.

Include your suggestions for improvement.
• Generate three questions for guests to answer based on your state's policies on assessment and your readings for this module.
• Cite at least three sources from the Learning Resources and a minimum of two additional sources from your own research to substantiate your thinking. Note: The resources should be in APA format.
