In this book, the authors offer advice to ICT teachers on how to use formative assessment to interact more effectively with students and promote learning. They set out in detail four main ways of practising formative assessment in an ICT setting, outlining assessment techniques that encourage learners to bring their ideas to the fore.

This bundle will allow screening of children from 5-6 years to determine their developmental age. Based on the results of the screen children can be assessed at a deeper level using the IED III. Interventions can then be introduced using the Readiness Activities. Once the interventions are complete, children can be re-screened to determine growth in developmental age and to ascertain if further interventions or referrals are required. Examples of persons who might use this kit include but are not limited to Maternal Health Nurses, Doctors, Paediatricians, Kindergarten and Early Childhood teachers and Child Care workers. A degree in Psychology is not required to administer either the Screens III or the IED III.
