Another POCET Creative Arts Example
POCET provides four basic activities for each of the 68 Developmental Guidelines which provide a scope and sequence of skills for Language, Literacy and Mathematics, plus five other domains of learning.
Here is an example for the Creative Arts domain:
Cheese Face Modeling
For each child, place 1 cup of grated cheese in a bowl. Add 3/4 cup of flour and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. With clean hands, mold the mixture together until it has a dough-like consistency. Place the cheese mound on a piece of waxed paper and allow the child (with clean hands) to create a funny face. Refrigerate the creation and eat at snack time.

The Preschool Observation Checklist and Evaluation Tool (POCET) was created to assist early childhood educators in organizing and maintaining an assessment system to monitor each child's development and to guide instructional practices. This individualization tool is organized to support any preschool curriculum chosen for the classroom. POCET is divided into six easy steps and two binders, and includes materials to individualize instruction for up to 25 children.
