Wrap-Up
To bring closure to this session, take time to reflect on key ideas and respond to the Challenge Question posed during Set-Up. Download the Reflection Journal located in the callout box to the right and take a moment to jot notes to yourself on what you have learned about completing the COS process at exit.
In your reflection, respond to these questions:
- Explain why we expect very few children to receive an answer of “No” to the progress question.
- How is it possible for a child’s rating to go down between entry and exit, and the answer to the progress question be “Yes?”
- Why is the understanding of a child’s individual progress more relevant for answering the progress question than understanding progress relative to peers?
