Here are two articles I found pertaining to my topic.
One is about how they are now going to test kindergardern students and the other is about testing autistic children. The article about testing autistic children helps my stand on developmental screening.

Interviewing Professionals in Early Childhood Developement
I interviewed a woman who has worked in Early childhood development for over 20 years. After speaking to her about early childhood development, we agreed that the children are the future of the world and that there must be more people to advocate education for our children. When I discussed several topic ideas with her, we decided that developmental screen would be a good one to focus on. One of the related topics she suggested that I focus on was the placement of children after the testing. She also suggested that I decide whether it is effective or not in determining how intelligent a child is. She mentioned how when it came to similar topics that her and colleagues discussed in the work place and how some teachers would comment on this child did this on the screening and the other child did that. She believes as well that you cannot determine how smart a child is and whether or not it needs help in a certain area from theses screening.
My topic of choice is about developmental screening of children and its effectiveness. I would discuss why it is used in early child hood development, the process, how it is used to determine where a child is developmentally and why I believe that it is ineffective. I would also discuss how it doesn't accurately determine what stage the child is in learning. At this point I am unsure of what else to discuss in this research paper, but hopefully the help of my class mates and what I have learned from interviewing.
