Summary: This Spanish language yearlong intervention was designed to link the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework with authentic assessment practices. Teachers in intervention and pilot classrooms implemented an assessment approach that incorporated the use of a curriculum-based assessment tool, the development of portfolios aligned with the mandated Head Start Child Outcomes, and the integration of this child assessment information into individual and classroom instructional planning. Intervention and pilot classrooms demonstrated significant improvements on some dimensions of classroom quality as measured by the Early Language and Literacy Classroom Observation toolkit, whereas comparison classrooms exhibited no change in classroom quality. Findings suggest that an authentic assessment approach may have a positive impact on the language and literacy environment. The use of authentic assessment in early education classrooms may provide an important link to improving classroom quality and curriculum planning. Contains 20 references.
