Scoring for the toddler teaching evaluation form reflects the student’s degree of ability to accomplish the tasks outlined on the evaluation form. Use the following
continuum description to score his/her performance.
Level 1: Unsatisfactory Score:
Performance: A toddler teacher at this level does not understand the concepts underlying the skills of planning and implementation or does not care to apply the
knowledge effectively. They make many mistakes and continue to rely heavily on support and guidance in a highly structured environment. Consequently, performance
at this level is below the licensing stand of “do no harm.”
Level 2: Emerging Score:
Performance: A toddler teacher at this level is given opportunities to try the use of basic skills learned and observed relating to planning and implementation yet they
have fragmented skills in regards to planning and implementation, with some developed further than others. They continue to learn through trying new skills, making
mistakes, and continue to require significant support and guidance.
Level 3: Developing Score:
Performance: A toddler teacher at this level has skills relating to planning and implementation that are beginning to be applied more consistently and confidently, and
with fewer mistakes, yet continues to require some support and guidance.
Level 4: Applying Score:
Performance: A toddler teacher at this level is able to plan and implement effective instruction with minimal input or assistance. They apply with confidence and
regularity the skills they have acquired over their experiences well enough to merit confidence from others with minimal support and guidance.
