What is the first thought or feeling that comes to mind when you hear "assessment"? Chances are, assessments are probably not found at the top of the list of things you enjoy about teaching. What if I were to tell you that assessments can be made simple through guided play? During guided play, the teacher creates opportunities that meet learning standards while still allowing students to learn and explore on their own. Join me in a round table discussion on how guided play can be incorporated into your day to meet the needs of assessment without taking away the time to play!
