Part 2 Analyze the data from Part 1 using Microsoft® Excel® software. Write a 700- to 875-word paper that includes the following information: Describe what method you are using to compare groups. Copy and paste the output into a Microsoft® Word document, and also answer the following questions: 1.What is the significance level of the comparison? 2.What was the alpha level you identified in Week 3? 3.What was the means and variance for each variable? 4.What was the test statistic? 5.What was the critical value for both the one- and two-tailed test? 6.Was your test one-tailed or two-tailed? 7.Were you able to reject the null hypothesis? In other words, did you prove there was a difference? Talk about what these results mean in everyday language and in context to your chosen scenario. Make a recommendation based on the findings. Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Scenario As a lead teacher in your program you see assessment as essential to supporting children’s development and informing your instructional practice. One of your professional goals this year is to compare observation documentation and assessment approaches to improve the alignment with the age of the child, desired data, and program requirements. You plan on providing an example of your intentional selection, rationale, and reflection of assessment methods and models during your upcoming teaching evaluation with your administrator. Instructions Create a reflection document of your selection, use, rationale, and reflection that includes the following: Part One: Child & Assessment Method/Model Describes who you will be observing and the setting. Identifies the child’s age (birth to age 8) and any pertinent background information of the child. Explains the setting including the program type, demographics, and child to teacher ratio. Identifies one selected method/model from each of the following categories (for a total of 3) to use during your observation and assessment: Screening Instruments: BRIGANCE Inventory of Early Development (3 to 5 years old) Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) Learning Accomplishment Profile-3 (LAP-3) Screening Instrument of your choice (please provide a link and an example of your screening instrument if choosing this option). Assessment Instruments: High/Scope Child Observation Record Teaching Strategies Gold Work Sampling Assessment instrument of your choice (please provide a link or example to your assessment if choosing this option) Observation Method: Narrative (Running) Record  Anecdotal Record - Individual Child Focused OR Skill Focused Checklist Describes each of the three selected assessment methods/models. Explains the rationale for why you selected each method or model and how each selection best fit (developmentally appropriate) the child you described or viewed in the video. Part Two: Observation & Assessment Utilizes the three selected assessment methods/models during the observation of the child for 1 hour. The observation should be detailed and confidentiality must be maintained. If you do not have access or permission to use the screening instruments and observation methods with a child, you can choose to watch the following video Play and Learning at School: Five Year Olds. Be sure to note you have chosen this option in your deliverable. Describes what you learned (data) about the child by using each selected method/model. Part Three: Evaluation Rationale Compares the selected assessment methods/models based on the data each provided. Identifies how the data collected was similar. Identifies how the data collected was different. Explanation of how the data generated from the instruments/methods can be used to inform teaching practices to support the child’s development and learning.
